Compositions while Commuting … by Liz KR
Fixer of Broken Things
Here I sit alone again while others hearts and lives I mend…
Thoughts and feelings course through me while I struggle in silence. I look around where is my guidance?
Maybe it’s my karmic debt? Maybe this lifetime it will be paid and I can find peace and love fully in the next.
Have someone who leaves their comfort for me, allowing me to fully be free.
I am the fixer of broken things, broken people, broken love, broken wings..
But who shall fix me? Or am I to be the universes fixer for Eternity?
Alone in the Dark
I used to sit alone in the dark,
because as a child things were really never easy,
I’ll spare you the details because some times they still make me queasy.
Back and forth from bedrooms I went,
And the days, weeks, months, and years were spent, but many nights I still sat alone, in the dark.
When I was about 15 there he was illumination,
We laughed, loved, and made a big deal even out of small celebrations.
Well things slowed down, and his presence seemed to wear a frown I guess you could say our relationship turned bland.
He would say it is what it is, but really what did I expect from a man who only uses salt to season his ribs.
So it ended I was physically sick, I hurt and I wept, and back into the dark I went and I went quick.
Overtime I began to heal, explore, travel, and think, girl why did you let him fool ya.
I opened my heart and my tastebuds and learned the world had so much more flavor than a couple drops of cholula.
Again things slowed and I thought maybe my heart has finally mended.
I sought relationships and situation-ships from a list of mutual friends, however in person that’s where the mutualities end.
But I made good friends, I found a partner, and made a home,
A home where I sometimes still feel alone.
I can’t think that though I can’t quit, I have love, passion, and a vehicle that’s finally paid off, haven’t I made it?!
But every now and then when I get home and put that vehicle in park, I still feel like a child alone in the dark.
