I've held many creatures
Void of life
But it's never as hard
As when it's your own
No pulse, no
Breathing
Just an empty
Shell that once was
The shock is
The first to rise
Like a wall
Coming crashing in
Then the guilt
Wells up in my mind
"I could have
Done better"
But life still
Carries on
I have things
To get done
You'll always have
A place in my heart
My dear sweet
Guinea pig
RIP Squeaker
Revenge is bittersweet
A cozy sword in my heart
I'm over that disaster
Yet we're not apart
A creature in the corner
Encroaching in my space
"Oh little girl,"
They say with distain
Usually followed by a suggestion on how to change myself
But I don't want to change
"Oh little girl,"
With tears in their eyes
How can you not see,
The true feelings deep in me.
The hard ache of hiding,
It's still not subsiding.
Lying to myself
"Just put the thoughts on a shelf."
Please stop pretending that you can't tell,
