i've written you a sonnet
i've sung you a pretty song
i've painted you a mural
that describes our love's dawn
but i think you missed
what iwas trying to say
what i tried to scream
in every possible way
you were too preoccupied
with your work and aspirations
to recognize this smile
in all our conversations.
your ears have stayed closed
and your eyes they are blind
to all my vain attempts
to penetrate your mind.
do you know what you are doing?
when you refuse to let me in?
you're pushing me away, now,
driving the stakes in.
i was a little worried
when i saw our world
become smaller and smaller
they watch us now,
without our consent
i live in a snow-globe these days.
"went for a walk with the hubby today"
did they really think we'd care?
who let them in?
who gave them the password to our secret universe
of teenage angst
and frivolity?
could you please change it, the password?
so we can shut out their wisdom, their paternal
guidance
that pushes us down roads of destruction..
