Ashes and Dust

Ashes and Dust
It was meant to be both of us.
But I was left.
Ashes and dust are all that remain. 

They say it's not personal.
At least that’s what they say.

Do they expect us to believe that foolishness?
Lies and more lies to cover up your own turmoil.
They wonder why I don’t trust; they wonder why I stay quiet.
But do they really wonder or do they just not care about me?

Let in the dust, wondering where everyone went.
Not knowing that they are there, but not with me.
It was meant to be both of us.
But I was left alone.
Maybe it is best to be left.

When a big dog attacks Kitty, Van must decide how to help Kitty. Should he replace Kitty or keep him? What will he do? This is a Tale of Two Kitties.

The Lake

The cool water laps on my feet.
The sun rays warm my skin, 
The birds chirp, the waters laps
And my soul is at ease. 
So much noise in our lives.
So little time to unwind, 
To be quiet in his presence
And soak in the son.
I bury my feet in the sand and,
I stretch my legs out.
The birds chirp, the waters laps
And my soul is at ease.
So much drama in our lives.
So little time to cry.
To be sheltered by his love
And know you are not alone. 

I Lost

I lost
People I thought I would have forever.
I lost
Chats and talks I thought I would always have.
I lost
Though how do I get it all back, and do I even want it all back?
Socially impaired.
No idea how to make or keep friends.
Socially Impaired. 
With the world so busy, and my mind so confused.
Socially impaired. 
In this world of confusion. 

How do you move an acquaintance to a friend or a friend to a good friend? 
How does one keep friends and how does one make friends?
I lost a sense of myself and my own desires. 
I lost the nuances and gestures that help others to figure this out. 

I was lost, but now I am found. 
I Found
Strength in myself that I will have forever. 
I found 
Chats and talks I will have forever. 
I found
I love that will not quit and I never have to wonder where it went.

I Never

Today is your birthday. You would have been 12.
I never got to hold you, or to rock you to sleep, or tickle you and listen to you laugh. 
I never got to tuck you in at night, and kiss your forehead or wish you sweet dreams.
I never got to tell you I loved you, never got to brush your hair, or hold you when you cry. 
It’s hard to imagine my life with you, for I spend so much of it without you.
So happy birthday to my baby. May your grandparents in heaven, be there for you while I cannot.

Takers

Some people take and take. 
You keep giving until you can’t give anymore.
And that is when you see who they truly are.

They take until you have nothing left.
Then they toss you aside into the trash.
They squeeze all they can out of you until you can’t give anymore.

They turn on you with a blink of an eye.
They lash out at you for not being there for them,
When you had been there all along.
You see, the look in their eyes, and you know.
They don’t care about you. 
They only care about what you can do for them.
