Want to see only the beauty,
not the filth and muck,

Want to hear only smiles and laughter,
not humans being mean to one another;

Tried to ignore the bad,
blot it out,
Didn't want to talk about it.

Guess it needed to be seen,
talked about.

All those thumpers,
didn't they know?
Remember?
You reap what you sow?


If you didn't want anyone to know,
If you didn't want anyone to hear,
Then you should have dropped this long ago
when I begged you to do the right thing.


*The heroine to the ones who never tried to help her, only hurt her.

Talk to me, she told him,
I can't, he told her,
but he promised
he'd hold her.

I need you, she told him,
I'm here, he told her,
but he would not
talk to her.

I love you, he told her,
It's not enough,
she told him,
He was confused.
