May 8


Niko-May 8

I want to see you
Folding laundry, bowling, dancing,
Or petting the dog.

You longed for freedom
And celebrated your upcoming 18th birthday
Like there was no tomorrow.

I untied my apron strings,
Tired of your manipulations,
And longing for your love.

Everything is catty-wampus
Now that you are gone.
Painful memories, past and present,

Rear their head
Like a voracious dragon
I slash them with a magic sword

And say, holy, holy.
