Prima Donna~

Grief has been a lingering 
Intruder that holds hostage
My joy, my laughter, my 
Precious time….
My life

It shapes my day and imbues 
my dreams with tormented
Floods of worry and fear
Taunting the resilience and
Tenacity of spirit that one 
holds desperately 
dear

A myriad of human
Emotion on the verge of
Certain 
Collapse

Life became a stroke 
of luck
A game of chance
A frightening dance
A slight of hand
A witness stand
     
A phony trial
An evil smile  
A story told
The blindfold sold

A judge for sale
A trip to jail
To keep “her” pleased
They’d break my 
knees.
