A WEED:
 
Broken & bleeding
me and my
 
heart still weeping for a loss
known & the one which was not allowed to take root
 
pulled up 
threw away like a weed
unwanted
the thriving invader that sneaks in the back door
 
taking hold
a seed blown upon wishes
upon a child's sigh
carried away by sparrows 
the journey still so long to go
& so far traveled
I am weary
I need rest but
but I swirl & buff on my face 
a painted on smile
eyes bright
a lie 
passes my lips like the breath
to blow wishes into your perfectly manicured yard.
