the birth, the life, the death
with that easy laugh, you set things in motion
and gave life to something unexpected
it's not your fault, that i was silly
my mind built dreams furiously
i found myself dancing and clapping
to impress you, to make you laugh
with a few casual words, you gouged out holes from my happiness
as quickly as my excitement built, you tore it down faster, more efficiently, without a thought.
you have given life capriciously, and you have taken unexpectedly taken it away. it was yours to take, so i don't complain.
but it still hurts.
the hemorroid
one day, i WAS.
steadily, whether you wanted me or not, i grew.
i struggled to exist, and poured everything out.
and because my life was in your hands,
you who hardly thought of me, i died.
to you, i was uncomfortable,
a passing thought, a frown.
i can't be sad, or upset. i'm a hemorroid.
hemorroids don't have feelings.
you were never mine. i was yours, though you didn't know it.
i will remember you forever, you who gave me life and took it away.
it was yours to take, so i accept. but it still hurts.
tomorrow, you will forget me.
