Someday
I wished for hope,
I got despair.
I wished for love,
I got hatred.
I wished for someone to want me,
I got loneliness.
I wished for the problem to vanish,
I got lighter.
I wished for someone to notice,
I got ignored.
I wished for someone to reach out and stop me,
I got pain and suffering.
I wished for it to end,
I haven’t got that wish yet,
but it might come true.
Someday.

Please!
Pain takes that ache away
That ache lies restless
It continues to fester
Nothing will fix it
The ache remains
It worsens
It grows
It hurts
End it.
Please!

The dog lady
I’ll be the dog lady
Locked in my house
Afraid to live
Scared to leave
Holding on to my dog
To keep the pain away
The pain that ravages me
It makes me empty
I want to be numb
But my dog stops me
From letting it be over
So I’ll be the dog lady
And live only for her.
