Be Careful What You Wish for
A Poem of Loss
Like a broken clock, time stands still
Knowing what will never be mine
Makes me feel broken and empty inside
I'll never hold those little toes
Never an innocent giggle
The eyes that still believe
That the world isn't as bad as it seems
Will never be glowing and looking at me
Be careful what you wish for
Because one day it might come true
Even if you've changed your mind
There's not much you can do
So I'll put away those dreams of you
Which I'd never wanted before
I'll shed a million tears
And lock them in my drawer.

Ask Me In December
Introduction This is for Babs Iverson's "Ask Me In December" challenge which you can read about here When we talked about it, I said the flow and sound of the words reminded me of "Gone Till November" by Wyclef Jean which I will use to soundtrack this. It is a wonderful song.

TICK TOCK
11.59. Even though the glass had shattered, Lorna could still see that her watch ticked over. One minute until midnight. Her watch was the only thing she had that she could carry. The only thing to remember her parents by. A birthday present from last year, the year she turned seventeen.
