Contemporary Drama Speculative

Hello, how are you, I am ready to compose a piece, on the missing charging port.

Though I trust you with my Life, I do not know, where is my knife.,

I would lay down my belongings, my weaponry, my intentions are pure. I sleep on a blanket out in the wind and cold, just so long as it's you, I know I'm old.

I would take the reins myself, take to town the horse and buy a gown, for our wedding bells to ring, I'm not a superior thing.

I would sip up the lake , if it turns out to be a puddle, if through my business you would muddle.

If you would keep me outside, while you're home with your family, happy and then come out and say, 'Let's go," I would go with you anyway.

You can talk to the neighbors, and I will pray, you can say whatever you will say, about me or whatever, ha ha ha,

I will walk straight and keep mouth shut.

You can turn others against me, no more opportunity for friendships, they smile and laugh and jeer, but I will still be here.

You can do whatever, disappear, and say 'hey, I'm 2,000 miles away!", or

Drive downtown and look around, without me I will smile and sigh with complacency.

People love you and detest me, I can wonder but I'll still put in all the work quietly.

I can defend myself and get called every name for it, have emotions that just don't get validated, but I will still cook you dinner, not expecting praise, but hoping.

I can be deaf and demented, will the yelling ever cease, what did I do? But I will still lean down and tie your shoe, when you are unable.

I do not take it personally, I know you, you can do no wrong.

You are feeling what you're feeling. You have a reason to be this way.

There is no guilt or blame, I would probably do the same.

If I were in your shoes, but tell me what's giving you the blues. Did I leave and not say goodbye. How could I? Did I make you cry.

You say I'm a traitor? Is this all to get me back. You've got me where you want me now let's continue.

To hack away at my pride, you laugh about it, is that helping you,

To murder me when I murdered you.

But why and how could I be so cold.

Who's side am I on.

What do I know?

What did you say in his ear, when you were slammed in to the wall.

What was in your mind, smiling though you falled.

Could it be a takeover, of the alien kind, where is this new personality from, a portal for the blind?

Even your family don't recognize you at all, they play along,

Waiting for the call.

Will it ever come, will the questions be answered,

Yes I know you. You have my undying loyalty, it's something you said to me. I will never give up on you.

That fateful day, you came my way, you look into my eyes with the beauty of youth, innocent and pure, but is it the truth?

The sun, you remind me of, and I am the moon, walking around, singing a tune.

So cute, but unpredictable, always have to have your way. But who would refuse, they know the price to pay.

Ingratitude, but is it stored away somewhere, or just left unnoticed, every little care. All the same, I carry on, living Life like a worn- out song, same. But intertwined with the promise of tomorrow, things unexpected.

I will continue to serve you, until I can no longer, if you would have me, you make me that much stronger.

Others have their lives, but they (do what they can; parents. Siblings, and 1/2 of Japan. But I say you are who I'm meant to be with now, even though I don't know your intentions and I seem to be living under a cow.

If I were to live my life again, I would do the same, my friend. :)

How could I not care? How could I laugh? What am I doing on your planet and what are my intentions toward you.

I'm living. You are a figment of my imagination. I am trying to get along. The memories are good, but I know you've gone your own way, too. In our minds we've moved on, still portraying a happy, love- swept couple, but our ambitions are elsewhere, we have a base. A foundation and a home, who are we without each other? But although I have a thought you are my soul mate, I still have one nagging request,

'Where's my charging port and am I really your best?

I know the universe goes round and round, the earth spins on its axis, and we all are gravitated downward, but what else is out there, other than the Voyager, because I'm getting ready to study some exoplanets. Some of desire, some of springtime, some of bliss, some of the difference between a man and a woman, some why did my family ostracized me, and some of what is in a drug.

I know it's not all about me, sometimes I wish it never was, but I know a lot goes unnoticed and uncelebrated, I own the world, isn't that enough. Oh, and you do, too, reader, isn't that what we all came here to do?

We share, our belongings, we give some time, we help unwind. Writing is a way, I put it all behind. Can you suppose you know, anything about me, bit reading my writing, can you see me? You have a vision of what I might be like, my fame comes this way, and my heart goes out to any one suffering, I know life can be unbearable, ask those that took their own.

Please have patience, I have to take up space, my thoughts are unsolicited, but they save my grace. Have a nice day, I know not what else to say.
