Get Out

I have to leave the house tomorrow

Fatigue energized by hope-

lessness

Depression fueled by gas-

Truth obscured by astro-

turfing

Men & women of honor being held up

to ridicule

A nation dedicated to human rights saving families from

each other

Deaths of innocents lending grievance for

self-preservation

I remember that day -
I was beside her,
Nervous that I was -
I took her hand in mine.

'I'm going to marry you, some day.' I declared.
Ignorant that I was,

Little by little,
She died inside.
And she wept.

I thought what I had said,
Had reached the depths of her heart -
I smiled,
Worry didn't exist in my life.

But, that was back then -
A day I would never forge...
