Poems April 2006 – The Boy Behind The Glasses.

Marriage – Written Saturday 1st April 2006 (Aged 31)

marriage
in this day and age
where cynicism
writes every page

even when you hurt me
you first concern
is for yourself

autism
has never really played the part
nor the role you gave it
in your life

she looked at me
i was sixteen all over again
wondering,
what the decade would bring

and i no longer –
wish to feed you
the oxygen –
which you need
and fills your lungs
so you can blow some shape –

you had a nerve
to tell me who i was
but never the decency
to find who i was

if you are still the scared child
six years old and waiting
emotionally never having moved
i guess that is how you would feel

silly, silly girl
what they to do to you
hung out you to dry
hoping that all those fears
would no longer cry

empty life
desperate to fill it out
loneliness beckons
and not even children
can hide it

mrs smith
i have to tell you
that your daughter
was not ill –
in the way you think
