Behavior;
Glacial
As arctic ice
Your language;
Fatal
Words that slice
Sadistic,
Narcissistic
Nerve;
My empathic
Calling
To subserve
To
Iron press
Your
Wrinkled ways
With
Antidotal
Starching sprays
To
Convalesce your
Malady;
Extract
Your evil
Cavity
Of Wickedness;
Depravity
That caused our
Family tragedy.
But
How to know
The difference
Of
Things that
Can change
With courage
And
Love,
Accept;
And turn away
Completely,
A bystander
Watching
Obliquely…
Or
Participate
Facilitate
Try to
Intervene
With fate
Demonstrate
How to
Navigate
The way
From crooked paths
To straight;
Cleanse your sight
From
Visceral lenses
That cost you
Exorbitant
Expenses
Can my
Love
Be
Your heart’s
Incentive
To change your
Kismet
Consequences;
Can my
Eucalyptus oil
Scented
Waves of
Hope
Revive your
Senses?
Disengage
What
Cannot change?
Stay in this fight
For the long range?
Revise
What I
Cannot accept?
Embrace neglect;
Or intercept
The repercussions
We’ve endured?
Leave it
For dead;
Or find
A cure?
Is all we’ve
Lost
Cursed to
Afflict you?
Should I
Concede..
Or try to
Fix you?
