LOCKED UNIVERSE, THE POEM

LOCKED UNIVERSE, THE POEM

A starter's pistol became my live universe
An affair with a man that held me for love's ransom.
Taking chances, running the baseball diamond ragged 

Controlled by a Mama's boy philosophy shored up an ever downward spiral
As our times floated by between the thin sheets and paper walls
We moaned in unison to the ears of the ones that brought him into this world

We proceeded, Mr. Live Universe and I
Running the streets in fear of being caught in cinches
Immortalized cheaters crawling on all fours, doggie style

Live universe created and patented by him, spinning infinitely into the finite reality 
So sweet and safe it was, as day by day I docked into the locked universe
Now there is no return, no key, no love, only mistrust & sadness
Violent separation like giving birth, his live universe is now locked & cursed to me
