DaveK in Poetry & Free Verse

Orphan

We are like oil and acid

And every time you speak

An angel loses wings

My hero. Disengaged.

You were creeping calamity

As sunshine coddled face.

A poison prone to hate.

Warlord, join or dissipate

The best of me is blamed

For all your troubles.

I am the reason your

Madness couldn't overcome.

I am the butt, smoked for all

It's worth. Discarded.

You, the fallacy of love.

Disowned for a failure

To hate everyone you did.

Nothing cuts so cleanly as a

Mothers knife.
