Unlike

by Lucy Loves Not   Aug 30, 2005


My hands;
Callused and bruised

Torn from the tears
and time I've spent

Should I use a chisel
To break your austere gaze?

Fervid thoughts,
Weeping silent songs;

Should you ever discover
My broken heart:

Please forgive my
dishonest past.

I will fall and balk,
Beneath your hand,

Pressed against a
worrisome palm.

Apologies worn thin,
by despondent promises;

Commitment broken
by heartache and sin.

We both know:
I'm out of place,

A daughter unlike her
her own mother.
