An Affairis Wheel to Remember

Sad track - record spins

By Rowan Finley Published 3 years ago • 1 min read

round and around

she went with him

while I was home with the child

beguiled…

questions…

round and around

they went in my mind

she was going to school to get a degree

how could I foresee

the lies…

round and around

they went in my confused heart

scared and sad

for all the tokens

b r o k e n…

round and around

in a family

that I so desperately prayed for

since I was six or so

regrets…

round and around

why, oh why

did I watch this

affairis wheel go

round and around

cause’ it’s seared

into my memory

that goes…

round and around
