In or Out?

I need to know

Now listen here

I’ve a few questions to ask,

Is it me you want

Or to be part of my past?

***

Is it the girls to kiss

And single to be?

Then lead your own life

And goodbye to thee.

***

Is it out the door

Back to mum?

No more cleaning and washing

For it will be done.

***

Prostitute

You tell them so,

Is this what you think

For I need to know?

***

Now no more questions

Do I have to ask,

For the time has come

For my say at last.

***

So is it in or out

What’s it to be?

You may break my heart

But you won’t break me!!!

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
