All That Glitters Is Not Gold
I watched you Holding court In the place Where she should have been Smug Broad smile The confident shell (hiding deceit and theft and and) I watched you My smile thin and wan Forced Dredging up forgiveness to accompany it from my tired worn out soul I watched you You got the brass ring You did (Not gold mind you) Brassy Plundered Ill gotten gain I watched you and wondered How long Oh Lord how long Will the guilty go unpunished How long I forgive I forgive I forgive I forgive I forgive I forgive I forgive
The Welcome Mat
Grief came calling today
Truth was
She'd been reaching out for some time
texts messages
phone calls
knocks on the door
But I didn't answer
(couldn't wouldn't)
Grief came calling today
And
When she came round I opened the door (just a crack)
Trying to discern how long she was going to stay
Grief came calling
today
And
I'm making space
For her
