DIED INSIDE AGAIN
**************************
He was always ready to leave,
take flight,
So why should she be
so surprised?
It should be old hat by now
with her,
Why did she even feel the bite?
* * * *
Hundreds of times he's
flown high,
This time with mysterious
sad words,
Better than nothing
she told herself,
Clinging to sayings
that pacify.
* * * *
He'd pay his dues
to get his fair cut,
Days he'd invest to
buy the future,
Trapped in ancient dark
brick brooding places,
Jailed by his need to
succeed and strut.
* * * *
His future rests
on making a show,
Postponed dreams
forever lost to him,
Yet she hate's herself
for quizzing him,
When his plate's so full
there's overflow.
* * * *
He swore he could have
heard her mutter,
When he cried and
blessed her silently,
As she mourned her fate,
Died again inside
and shuddered.
