Disposable

A Poem

Head in my hands

Sifting through the sand

Of ruined unplanned events

Nowhere to vent

A shoulder lent

Is a shoulder lost

Oh, what’s the cost of carrying this burden

Always hopeful

Yet

Always indisposably disposable

A heart choking on a mouthful of pain

Regret

For cracking the door

Draw the chain back

Time to react as you always do when in pain

A recluse

When you find it’s nothing new

It’s what you knew it always to be

Never fully open up

Better to remain a mystery
