Laments of an Impatient Woman #1

Why won't you just tell me
The truth
Already,
So
I,
Can,
Deal with it?

Oversleeping

Funny how people arm themselves with so much
For self defense, they say, in case I'm robbed on the streets; you can never be too careful.
When they can be stolen from as easily as
When they shut their eyes and keep them shut
For too long.

Peek-a-boo

You're hiding and I
Won't pretend I know why,
But whatever the reason,
I hope you're well.
I know I'll find you soon.

Bravery

I wish to tame the beasts
Part of you to sleep.
Build a home among them.
Touch you as deeply,
And hold you as closely.
I wish to love
You free.

Orpheus

Let me retrieve you from the land of the dead.
Let me bring you to life.
Just hold my hand,
Stop looking back,
And follow me.
