Invitation only

I reserved you a

front row seat

to my recital

no title

I want you to see

the lights shine

on my face

into your eyes

I gaze closing mines

like you closed

the door on me

too many times

I never felt so

lonely

disowned like a

broken commodity

that runs on

electricity or batteries

you don't deserve

to ingest the air I breathe

I need to inhale and exhale

the memories

I see your eyes

getting big and welling up

with tears

I don't feel an ounce

of sympathy

I've packed my bags

leaving all the pain

boarded a ship

sailing across the sea

of misery

single handedly

I climbed a mountain

of possibilities

look up on the stage

see what you made me
