Melba Christie at Poemattic

why does her heart collide

with her own unhappiness?

the signs say slow down please

you have reached

the intersection

of love and friendship.

But she doesn’t know sincere

or trust

only fear of failure

and rejection

no intention

is good enough

she believes that only stuff

like fancy cars and status

and grandiose titles

is the way

to get someone to stay

close enough to really see her soul.

 

 

 

 

Do you have someone who is DIFICIL?
