I spend my days alone, reading, writing

Caring for an ailing friend

—–

I care for him with love and resentment

Because once he became sick, I was trapped.

—–

Trapped by circumstance and loyalty to love

Wanting freedom

—–

But what difference does it make?

I trapped myself long before

—–

When I forgot to see my tomorrows

Just surviving through the days

—–

Absorbed by hope and happiness

Focused on someone else
