Welcome to My Poetry Site
Singled Out
Glimpses of memories
come back sometimes.
Arm wrestling my friend.
The song in kindergarten.
How I wanted to marry
my two friends:
a boy and a girl.
Three of us together forever,
happily.
Becoming blood siblings
with my friends.
Cops 'n' robbers,
cowboys 'n' Indians outside.
Dissecting live daddy long legs
(many prayers & apologies later).
Water guns &
their sandbox.
Slip 'n' Slide
in the hot yellow sun.
The emptiness
of my 9th birthday.
I invited them,
but they never came.
A desperate sadness
at never seeing them again.
Birthday goodies
they never saw.
No goodbyes,
no closure.
Where are they now??
How many times
have I searched.
What did they know
that I never knew.
Memories are so fleeting.
So vague.
Always with the sense
of being utterly alone.
Depression sinks in &
I can't bear to be alive.
Can't take the loneliness
anymore.
It really kills me at night.
No one to hold me.
No one to love me.
Why
have I
been singled out.
