New Poem....
False Will
Going for a walk at dusk
Your house is slowly coming up.
Two shadows pass your kitchen sill.
I choke back tears with built-up will.
Through the screen I see you both.
You’re being such a lovely host.
You whispered something in her ear
That made her laugh and lean in near.
I swallowed hard and quickened pace
To distance me and my mistake.
To realize, standing on your land
“I’m just a mem’ry to this man.”
While wiping rainfall off my cheeks
I whispered, “God will bless the meek.”
And feeling foolish, acting dumb,
I tried to will my senses numb.
A man should not define it all.
And without, world shan’t break and fall.
But still the tears will not subside,
And every night, henceforth, I’ve cried.
What do you think?
