A flurry of motions –
furious emotion codified.
From the first kisses,
a string of witnesses.
But none, not one
will testify.
The fruit of this poisonous tree.
We tended it together,
now it blooms with injuries.
To represent myself proved
a fatal strategy.
Passionate commitments
papered out
in proceedings.
Adjudicated time after time.
Were you ever even mine?
Your closing argument
exposing the lie.
The cat’s paw extending.
Can’t tell where it
stops
and you begin.
Paper suffocation –
a heart’s transformation
in to a debtor’s prison.
The fruit of this poisonous tree.
We tended it together,
now it blooms with injuries.
To represent myself proved
a fatal strategy.
Passionate commitments
all drowned out
in proceedings.
Adjudicated time after time.
Were you ever even mine?
Your closing argument
exposing the lie.
Litigated time after time –
an ever-expanding file.
This credible witness
deposed but denied.
Adjudicated time after time.
Were you ever even mine?
Your closing argument
exposing the lie.
Your closing argument
exposing the lie.
Your closing argument
exposing the lie.
Your closing argument
exposing the lie.
