Today
this morning
I regressed…
I missed the callous one
the one that taught me about betrayal and cowardice
about hypocrisy and pain
about futility
The pain of her Cesarean act
threatened to disembowel me once again
The void returned
and the hope and optimism receded out of fear
today
this morning
I yearned for love
but I’m left only with hate
and a tainted view of a life in limbo
embellished with rose-coloured recollections
of a life almost lived.
