misplaced

misplaced a girl. picked her up, and tossed her away. am just a kid, a little kid. i am still that little kid who can not write, but writes. am still that little kid who learned to live alone, was told that that was wrong, and grew old to rediscover that being a kid and alone is just the kid's life.

the girl is now misplaced. born and orphaned, she grew. humiliated, she stood. wronged, she smiled. now the kid remembers the girl misplaced.

put a stone on it, she did. the misplaced girl put a stone on it.

 

farewell fair one

wished you had been a man, strong and potent in will

wished you had had what i imagined that you had

wished you had known what i knew all along

wished you had had the courage

wished you had been stronger than this one.

wished,

and then wished again.

did not want to accept what i knew.

you search,

may you be fortunate, and find.

farewell fair one.
