You broke my unguarded spirit br You made me red-faced and angry br Like swallowing a bitter pill br A mud-puddle day in Spring br br You lived up to it well and thoughtful br Blocking the doorway with your expensive perfume br Like a bellow of smoke, I was silent br Creating havoc and confusion was your way br br The voice of the oppressor, the enemy within br Clawing the blackboard, you rejoiced br I felt helpless and foolish like an old tired warrior br Never were you content with peace- br br All peanut butter and no jelly br The rich tapestry that bounds together br Is but loose frayed broken ends br No more broken silence br br For the green monster with tied up black hair br That runs on solar energy, brings warfare br I wished you would go away, br Now it is only hushed board games br br For the remaining part of that dusty weathered day br Was transformed one early morning br No more broken or fixed games of invitations br To my new mighty warrior spirit within br br br Laurie Dahlbr br Laurie Dahlbr br
