You Wear Me Down Poem by David McLansky

You Wear Me Down



You wear me down with disappointment
Oh life, where is your soothing ointment
To compensate me for my grief
Why do you fail to bring relief?

I suspend my judgment, ignoring doubts,
My every kindness is canceled out,
You misinterpret all my leads
You turn them into foul misdeeds;

I sit in wonder in my chair
My reason studying my despair;
How can I frame myself more clear,
You hesitate as I draw near;

No concern or ready favor
Can illuminate your ill behavior;
Love can’t dislodge that poison dart,
Extending from your mother’s heart.
