Playtime

 

Ive always put my eggs in one basket 

And watched in horror as they break 

Handed you my everything at once 

A committed fool 

A desperate dolly

But all or nothing can be 

hollow and lonely 

I need to learn to live in slices 

A piece of each part of myself 

A dedicated cut 

Friends that float like ghosts in sheets 

Here when they need solace 

But disappear during my darkness nights 

The battles I've faced with no one 

The tears that fell through the void 

I chase my sister as she vanishes in the mist 

And I hold out my hand 

But grasps only air

Only mud 

Sisterhood is a mystery that invades me 

How to share and take and love 

How to be vulnerable

On a one way street 

How to trust if someone offers 

When my thumb out 

skirt hiked up 

Can make someone turn

And look my way.
