LadyMidnight

I know
that every day away
every step feels like
a knife
twisting deeper
in our hearts
each day I watch the rainfall
from a broken window
and wonder
how I am ever going to choose
to be away from you

Some days I feel
like I'm choking on smoke,
an entity beyond my imagination
that captures my
words
and I have nothing to say.
It's hard though
when all you have is a window,
a screen that flashes
images of faces

Be grateful
because when you first blinked your eyes
someone took a pen and wrote
a name 
just for you
so when you lose
everything
you
still have something left.


 

What does it
mean to
love

your country?

Are you supposed to be
willing to die

to protect it?

Because I'm not.

Are you supposed to 
use your flag
to wave fear in forgotten people's
