Left of Nil
Left of Nil
Why aren't you married
he asks with a smile or a smirk
that discloses he knows
nothing.
How do you explain your worth
less
and less
You can't keep your own hell
neat and tidy and you're to share
the cost of another
and dance to the drum?
to have it fade like your vision
or your hairline
and become a memory you recall incorrectly
Keep this whole lot of fucked up work
in progress
away from others
and not even get a thank you.

I like the title too... Left of Nil. When you look at it, left of nil is - 1. Minus one makes us think we are missing one to make one's life complete.
ReplyDeleteThanks. There is definitely that!
