DINNER FOR ONE
I decided to make dinner for the first time
To make it special I even added a splash of lime
Everyones excided to see how it tastes
Asking if its ready hopening to haste my pace
Its time to eat
And they start to come
Im hoping they notice my addition of bread crums
I make their plate hoping to add some pizaz
I clear the table and take out the glass
As soon as they come they also leave
Im stuck at the table staring at my feet
There once was a time where we would eat together
And sitting across from me would be my sister or my mother
But now its changed we’ve all split apart
Dad even lives downstairs sleeping in the dark
When I bring up the subject they bring out the tears
And promise to eat with me all through that year
But just as these words come out
A cliff hanger comes out of a characters mouth
Just one more episode and ill be right there
During these moments I fell as if they just don’t care
All the rules they’ve broken that id abide
“Don’t take that drink outside the kitchen lines”
But as I sit here and I reflect
I eat my food and put my thoughts to rest
Because it dosent matter this is how life is
Have you ever heard the saying
you cant teach and old dog new tricks
Maybe next time thell cook to a train of rude
Never even get a complement on the food
But I will abide by those rules
Because that’s who I am
I am my gradfathers grandchild
And he was a stubborn old man
