![]() Jinx by the BottleA Poem by AnnaThe thoughts of you Make me sick and anxious-- And so I’d rather not Think of you at all. But you come back to me Day in and day out To plead for forgiveness On matters that deserve none. And you know I don’t forgive you. I’ve settled the dust Over the mantle And in the chair where You so often used to sit. Meeting in my mansion As the rain came-- As this place has vanished From Astral time. I can’t return to it anymore And I can’t pretend That I hadn’t known For all of those years. I knew you would disappoint-- Sink like men do When desperate for Some kind of affection. Still I was kind because Kindness was not given to me-- By firelight and wind-song I was ignorant. I only wanted to love you But even that Was drawn and difficult. Can you not be better Without my prompting? Darling, will you ever try? You live in the fog of memories That roll in unexpected-- Passively in pace With every incomplete story I told in that house. © 2024 AnnaAuthor's Note
