Deuxieme Partie

Brittany Bronte

                                                                                Guilt

Guilt is a tricky thing

It can guide your actions

Steered

By a moral compass

To right wrongs

Protecting old wounds to heal

Or it can be a weapon

Like a little pill of poison

Making her take the blame

That belongs to you

Clogging up her mind

To make her

Forget herself

Resolute

The scent of youth follows her

Like lingering perfume

Worn for yesterday’s party

Fading like a memory

Subtly and in pieces

Whose Voice?

They say happiness

Is a choice

But they didn’t say

The choosing lies in

Deciding whose entitled

To a voice

Father

Part 1

Thank you, father

For the lonely nights

And days if fear

Thank you, father

For the empty void

Of wishing you were near

Thank you, father

For being such a short stick

To measure my lovers by

Thank you, father

For putting a steep price

On the value of our time

Part 2

Thank you, father

For putting me in the middle

To fight your battles

And defend your crimes

Thank you, father

For introducing me

To The Beatles

Trying to whittle my way

Into your heart

Thank you, father

It only took 29 years

To realize

It wasn’t my fault

Ode to Daughter

Part 1

When you were born
