I Must Live

-

Every heart like me
Treated like a charity case.
Born from a conflictual place.
The unsatisfactory resolution.
We were abandoned,
I don’t know your face!
We were left motherless,
without a home, and all alone.

Don’t you dare think…
Coz we were never your salvation.
A child is incapable of being the solution
To your infertilities or your infidelities.

We were forced into your adaptations.
Remaining in a space of alienation.
We were forced into your adoptions.
We were useful to your selfish use.
We were useful to your selfish abuse.
For at least eighteen years our hearts bled

For at least eighteen years we were onfire
For our own truths
For our own histories
For our own identities
For Others with blood that are like ours.
You’ve only made our lives so sour.

What was my name.
Life can never be the same.
Thank you for what you gave me.
No thank you for all you did to me.

I am on my own way.
My memories aren’t yours.
My experiences so very different.
Best to let me go.

You’ve got nothing left to show.
You’ve got nothing more to give.
This is my life that I must live.

I love the way you move. All swank and cool. I'm a dank fool canvas. I'd like to be you. Let's see who, I can be. I love the way you speak. All soft and sexy. Everything 'bout you is neat. I'm just an entity incomplete. I'd like to be you. Let's see who, I can be. Adoptee chameleon Born to be Apparently, a utilitarian personality. Adoptee chameleon. Born to be Nothing much to see, apparently. Nobody said it would be like thees. All my own history. All blood relatives. I'm a severed twig of my family trees. They said the tree caught fire. From which they saved me. What bald liars! They took me on. An adoptee chameleon. Gill or Jillian? No one could tell. All adoptees seem to be a chameleon. How I love your body.

His Love for Her

Don't leave me here!  Don't you leave me here this way!  What will all my friends say? Who was it that carried me on the bier? Well, will you pray for me? Or can't you wait to see another man, if only you can?  Life with you was never,  the kind I wanted.  You called me "friend" That was after you put an end to our coupling. That was after you had my ring  cut off your finger. I can hear you singing after that. You had your own definition for being a swinger. A woman, free and unattached. Since then we've never been intimate. No matter the many times I had to wait. You would love me  Only by cleaning and laundrying for me. Still you'd never give me a bath. We had a life together you never let last. Don't leave me here!  Don't you leave me here this way!  What will all my friends say?     "She buried him, with his love for her.      She's not so demur."  _________ copyright ©️ 2023 SDKilmer, LLC All Rights Reserved www SDKi
