you listened to the signs of warnings in your life

Would you be in a better place?

Or would stepping off the path that is no longer serving you make things better?

Sometimes you must read beyond the sign but then again if the sign is red and telling you to stay on the path.

Let’s just stay there and see where the path takes us for when it’s right everything will slowly fall into place.

you were trouble when you smiled at me on such a grey day

Not even the rain could hide the darkness coming from you, filling the streets with no joy in sight.

But your eyes were so innocent and filled with joy and peace.

But now those same eyes show nothing but darkness and cloudy days ahead.

And as I watch you from a far now, I see how you stalk your prey and when they least expect it you fall right into place.

Setting the trap that is needed to capture them and even though I tried to warn them.

I couldn’t shake them off your spell and when it was over, it was me they warned, for they thought I was next.

Yet I’ve already been in their shoes, and he doesn’t return for seconds, for once he ruins you he doesn’t notice you again.

You become the ghost of his past and even if you haunt him, he won’t care, for there is no heart or conscious in this man, if that’s what you want to call him.

I complain or feel sorry for myself.

When we each carry a different story, an additional pain that we either hide or show to the world.

Who are we to beg for things that others are struggling to get on their own.

But you always with your hand out asking for more as if he is your bank.

As if she didn’t have to work hard at a job she didn’t love just to make a difference in her life.

As if he did escape what little he had to make something of himself.

His fault was that he worked hard and missed out on things to be able to pay the bills.

Or that she instead save and live a little bit, not go out all the time.

Now she lives in a world where less time out means she has less chance of getting COVID-19.

But still, the risk of having it all is out there, and yet she is always judged, but for what now?

And even though she knows they all want to know.

There are things she won’t share, and so there are things she won’t complain about either.

So happy she seems but is that all of her, you see.
