Looking Wayward
By Dr Benway
Emotional? Always
Fragile? Not likely
A long awkward glance
graffiti on the soul
bright, unyielding
yet still open to interpretation
Brave characters
padded with benign intent
completed
left as a sign of things to come
Fists full of happy endings
withheld just for kicks
scratched out on grey flat eyes
another romantic ideal
still, nothing to write home about.
