I was a cog
held in my place by invisible screws,
there to fix a machine,
not you.
You were a secret
someone forgot to put away.
Our connection
landed reprimands in personnel files.
Changed nothing.
Had you ever seen the sky?
Tasted hope’s promises?
Been hugged?
I hope not.
I can’t forget your eyes.

The pic is sickening but the words are fantastic.
Gasp!
So sad but a great 55!
This broke my heart.
So very sad. Secrets are always bad news.
Heartbreaking, and the words as well as the horrific picture–especially that smoky ending. “I hope not.” –works on many levels.
Oh, picture makes this heartbreaking.
Nara Malone?
This was so sad and frightening.
Terrifying pic.
Loved your 55 though.
You have some deep crazy thoughts Lady.
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
Ouch. I never wanted to be the cog in the machine. But that’s what it feels like some days. And all those write-ups in personnel files we aren’t suppose to see. Great 55.
ugh…i could imagine the look in the eyes…how terrible….
This is so good, so potent, it almost hurts. Very well done.
