Streetlight
 
Faded blue jeans,
Darkly slated scenes.
Nothing ever changes -
Same faded jeans,
Same faded scenes.
 
Burnt out streetlight,
Old emotional fistfight.
Scene rearranges -
But not the streetlight,
But not the fistfight.
 
Work kitchen table,
Favorite bedtime fable.
Time moves on -
Broken kitchen table,
Broken bedtime fable.
 
Lost loser father,
Hurt unwanted daughter.
Everything is gone -
But not the Father,
But not His daughter.
 
 
I wasn't sure whether or not I should put this poem up.  It's rather cryptic because it was written more for my sake than anyone else's.  In the end, I decided that it would be better to have it because maybe somebody will get something positive out of it.
