[Child of God]: 416.Poetry.Lilies

A
Thousand Tears
I’ve cried, leaving Their
Pools at your feet. I’ve Tried
So hard to Rationalize, to make Sense
Of it, but no matter how ard I try, Nothing
Works. nothing matters. “Protect your own” Those
Were your words, tot mine. But I’m no longer One of your Own
Am I? Shhh, you don’t need to answer, The crimson that’s Mingling
With my tears answers for you. I’m sorry I made you mad. Really, when I
Think about it It’s my fault, not yours I just couldn’t keep quiet, I
Just couldn’t hold my tongue despite your anger. So really, It’s
My fault. Please, don’t cry for me. I’m really not Worth
It. After all, I drove you to this. It’s ok, it Doesn’t
Hurt anymore, It’s just cold instead. Could You
Hug me one more time? Try to help me Stay
Warm? Just for a little while? No? …
It’s ok. That was Selfish of
Me to ask. No,T here’s
No Need to
Get Angry
Again. I’m
Leaving, So
You Won’t
Need To
Worry
About
Me
Making
You Mad
Anymore.
Would it
Be Too
Much
To Ask
For Lilies
To put On
My new
Home?
I know
How
Much
You
Hate
Them,
But
Please,
You
Can Use
My
Money.
I Wouldn’t
Ask You
To Use
Your Own
I Know
I’m Not
Worth
That.
Just,
Please,
lilies…
Please,
Even one
To warm
my new
stone
home?
