Three Sides of the Square

Written in the same hour as each other, similar moods and flow. The first two stem from encounters in the workplace that made me reflect on relationships in general, the last is more personal, subjective from my own experience. Thank you for reading!

One life could lead another's

To the edge of an abyss

As our feet just keep a'walking

One is bound to step amiss

Focus on the leaves turned brown-

Spend your life in a remiss


One chance was all I had

And I chose to sit and wait

Now I sweat and pace

Just outside your pearly gates

It's not enough I know it all,

No, for wisdom was the bait


If I could, I'd take you, breathlessly,

As in talons of the hawk

Instead, I feel so vulture-like

Should I want more than to talk

To think I'd rather lose my legs,

Than my ability to walk…


…I must try just once or always balk-

Strike, all charged, like static shock.
