Life's Bad Hand

I walked away and now you cannot leave me alone.
Screw this world and life that gave us both a bad hand.
I feel it all seeping through every weary and tired bone.
I sink every single part of my body into the heavy sand
To keep myself anchored because my anchor in you
Is gone. My parents raised me to be respectful and be
Kind to everyone. There some people in this world who
Do not deserve it, not because they are bad people but
Because they do not get it from us. Darling, they dare
To criticize us while “trying” to pull us out of this rut.
Some of them are good people, but not always there
To save us because we have to be the ones to save
Ourselves. Karma will work itself out in the end
Although we all deserve a good ending with a grave
Stone and place to rest. That is where life will send
Us once we are done in this lifetime, down in the dirt
When we do not have to worry about being hurt.
