Who Knew


Who Knew When we met my life grew full. Collections of sorts I pushed you pulled We gathered feelings To try them out Who knew the worst would Soon be about My friends then yours Your family old scores My own now abandoned My worth and value Counted with dogs Not allowed to travel now I can do no right In your sight So narrow and hard Vulgar and rude No apologies to accept Mean attitude Not allowed to call anyone My former collection Was lovely and right The gathering now hurts As my mind fills with The new fullness… Bruises and broken promises To many to count Not allowed to go outside Who knew the worst would Soon be about
