Feelings


please tell me

these feelings will end

the nameless ones with no face

the terror with no name,

the memories hidden in dreams.

each day they're getting less

losing weight

not getting fed

by my choice.

but still they persist

made a habit

by past munchings

on the tidbits

i threw them

by accident.

as they waste away

i make new creations

in my head

to replace

them.

ones with no relations

who will not check

my past feelings

to make sure they're ok.

new feelings

with the stability to stand

on their own two feet

though young and new.

let them die.

death to the traitors

who took away my life.

i will make new ones to rise again

a resurrection

of the just.

Blond hair, bright, shiny, streaming Makeup perfect High-heeled boots Everyday I walk past her Behind her Around her We get on the same train At the same time I work in the same building At the same company We ride the same elevators She's never noticed me Oblivious But unhappy Admiring her new boots He walks his kids to school And himself back home Coffee cup in hand Not oblivious to me Wishing he were walking me to school instead Scraggly beard, sad Thinking life had to be better than this Trying to hide it from his family But I, the stranger, s...
