The Web Poetry Corner - Sean Cafferky - Nine Lives

Nine Lives

by

Sean Cafferky

When they fall,
I, too, remember
I have failed

When they cheat,
I, too, hide
what is left

When they run,
I, too, wonder:
where and why?

When they hurt,
I, too, recall
I'm not innocent

When they lie,
I, too, ignore
all their explanations

When they use,
I, too, erase
thoughts of them

But when someone tries,
I, too, lie awake
quite excited yet afraid

For when someone loves,
I, too, often stop
to ask: who, me?

And if someone is true,
I, too, cannot help
to hope it's you
