Bouquet...

A Poem by Jacqueline
"

I realized a few nights ago that my biggest fear isn't being alone, it's never having children. If you ask those around me who know me personally, they'll tell you I never talk about my fears, partly because I don't have many, and partly because I don't

"

Black iron forget-me-knots

      were my failsafe,

on cold days when all I really

wanted was peace

     (I prayed)...

and some how it always came,

      but there were traces of

                      (strings attatched)

   knots in the web,

   ...things... events.... places...

                   forget them not...

(and it wasn't worth it in the end).

 

I prayed

     for you

to stay with me

          and you did,

but nothing is as it seems.

It's best to say fear cloued my vision,

         my eyes were blind

black iron buttons off an

            angora sweater

they were weighted down

                   a

                     n

                       v

                         i

                           l

                             s

hanging from lids

       that regretted

every ounce of me that asked you

              to live within.
