Out - Back

Birds of paradise,

in mine.

A lemon tree

where the fruit cannot be picked

The sad ivy grows

The lonely goldfish swim

the tables have been removed.

Initialed bricks wetted by rain

look in at me sadly.

No more candles burn

Chess played

The smell of coffee has been removed

All of her playmates

lovers

friends

have left her

They look out

She looks in

To be together again would be "SIN!"

Such a sin,

to be happy

expressing feelings

laughter

pure joy.

Her mirror does not reflect them anymore.

They are gone,

forced away because...

she wasn't good enough.

But they love her and wish to be with her again.

Like before.

But instead they stay inside,

warm and dry.

As she waits forever outside

drenched in Kelly's tears.

 

Back
