 Mar 5 THE LONER
Sia Harms
The lanterns flickered out
One by one.
With every step down the lane,
I left behind
All the darkness I had let light
Up my life.
If you return,
do not knock,
the door has memorized your hands.

If you leave,
do not turn back,
the wind carries only forward.
I carved your name in the stars, but the dawn stole their light.
I whispered your name to the moon, but it faded into the night.
So I etched your name in my soul, where time cannot erase,
A love so deep, eternal, in its quiet, sacred place.

Why do I cower behind this pen
Ducking behind expression in the form of comfort
No problems solved
People less wronged
Just words on a page
And yet here I am
Pen in hand
My face is ugly
My legs are short
But she leans upon me
For her child support.

I give you my arms, and you give me your legs, he said

But more than anything, it was his tears he gave me

They were mine more than his

It was only me they listened to
