Learning to walk
Allison Geier
I cant/ begin/ to tell/ you why/ she sits/ ,
Alone/ and starts/to cry/ because/ he's gone/ .
She says/ her heart/ is bro/ ken in/ to bits/ .
She does/ n't see/ he played/ her like/ a pawn/.
In joy/ of pain/ I stayed/ with him/ and talked/ ,
The talk/ without/ the walk/ or so/ he claimed/ .
I gath/ ered strength,/ prepared/ my legs/ and walked/,
And woke/ to see/ my in/ jured self/ ashamed/ .
I turn/ to her/ to off/ er what/ I've learned/ ,
But wis/ dom comes/ with scars/ that must/ be earned/ .
