softs tough



"... how are you..."

just another of those days
got kicked in the teeth
haven't seen but haze

and this one hurt
tore out my heart
never fitting in
soles falling apart
it's always only me
and i don't even care
but for my family

"...look
he isn't looking at me..."

it's the same
as it ever was or will be
there's nothing but illusion
dying
to live in this tree

"... I owe you a maple..."

"... it's time to go...."

I hugged him gently
touched light to his cheek
I cried to myself

but I didn't feel weak
"... life isn't fair ..."
and I know this speak

i packed my things
invisible stings
so no more names
and with no strings
two cats one case
and a pair of shoes
removed
their skins
