Sophie200: We’ll wait for her.

September 11th, 2009 by Matthew

She also loves to find out more about the law and argue her case whilst debating.

The wait is over as we now present a poem written by Sophie for this week’s Poetry Cafe…

Wait for me, by Sophie200

I suppose you think this is just a game?
Playing with me like a toy in your nursery.
Hopscotch on the playground.
Manipulating me.
Winding me
up by a
rusty
key.

Why am I the one playing tag with you?
You are always going to be
two steps ahead of me,
two years older than
me,two lifetimes
appart from
me.

Hopping and skipping from one step to the next.
I’m going my fastest. Why won’t
you slow down
and wait for
me?

Why are you in such a hurry? Time will wait.
We can’t play games anymore
Stop pretending that you
never tricked
me.

Did you intend to hurt me? By making it painless
you hurt me more,
Why do I still
love
You?
