Door:
(For Shawna)
She came to the door,
Like so many dreams,
Said she missed him,
He said go away.
#######
Slight knock,
Loaded,
He got angry.
After silence,
Liquored stench,
He gave hate.
And he could have fallen,
Held her,
Said I miss you too.
He slammed it in her face
Poem: (Liar)
He asks for truth,
Heart sweaty,
Palms pounding,
Face betrayal.
He questions,
Girl he loved,
Woman he still longs for,
About him.
######
Long ago,
He felt forever,
Complete,
He was wrong.
Now he lies every day,
He doesn’t need her,
Miss her,
He lies all the time.
For forever is never forever,
Yet truth invades,
He cares,
Has she slept with him?
She sighs,
A hesitation,
Drops her eyes,
Says no.
Relief,
The boy smiles,
He walks away happy,
Oh so happy.
She lies.
