Two Years Later
Life is a battlefield
Of choices made
And choices waiting
To be made,
Even if your choice
Is not to choose.
And I have made
Some choices
That I sometimes regret-
Like opening up to
A total stranger,
Pretending to be
An aspiring writer,
Who took my heart
And stepped
All over it,
While I tried
To believe that
There was
Something greater
Between us.
The only thing
That I found is
That some people
Do not live
Their lives in the open,
Hiding some dirty
Past secrets that
Bring on guilt
And shame.
And they try to flush
Their past
Down the toilet, but
The lies just keep
Building up
And the toilet backs up,
And the plunger won't work
This time.
I wanted to be your lover,
Not your plumber to help
Your lies from interfering
With your social life.
