After Dinner - Unloved

My mother always told me

Don’t talk to strangers

But what if I can’t talk to anyone?

What if I don’t even know how I feel?

From the sides

The words only get in the way

Washing the tears

With a hand

He touches my things

Clearly he understands

Can’t speak to me

What’s wrong with them?

Honey, you’re

What is love anyway?

A four letter word?

Love is just another word to say

expression cliche

Guess there’s something in the air

I don’t contend

But I take what I get

It’s not all we get

I walked on the shore

Into the waves

Covering the sun

From the of my shade
