Petty: 4 Lunes (National Poetry Writing Month 2017 #7)   Leave a comment

Why am I petty?
Vindictive
A sad, selfish soul?

I could be happy
Without care
But it gets to me

Being betrayed hurts
Long after
In spite of myself

One day I won’t care
Much too late
My life will be gone

It Hurts Me Too (National Poetry Writing Month #15)   Leave a comment

This isn’t something I want to do
It hurts me as it hurts you
This isn’t something I want to do
It hurts me too.

I don’t want to have to start this fight
It hurts her most, this isn’t right
I don’t want to have to start this fight
It isn’t right

But you aren’t leaving me a choice.
Your ear have fallen deaf to my voice
You aren’t leaving me much of a choice.
You’re deaf to my voice.

I’m sorry it had to be this way
Instead of light, we have this dreary day
I’m sorry it had to be this way
On this dreary day.

This isn’t something I want to do
It hurts me as it hurts you
This isn’t something I want to do
It hurts me too.
