I think my neighbour is like my ex
I talk to her
We seem the same
But the things she says
Red Flag
A little
off
Like,
she got a divorce
and it's such a struggle
She has to go through an app
to talk to her ex
.... She's the one who doesn't want to go through the app...
Red Flag
I'd love to have an app,
to talk to my ex
But apparently,
my struggle wasn't real enough
We're okay now,
I guess...
but in the beginning...
Red Flags
They were everywhere
Why didn't I see them?
So, I told her about my struggle...
I thought she'd understand...
But I think my struggle
had been husband's
Red Flag
She tried hard for her kid
but is displeased in having her
She doesn't get her enough,
her daughter doesn't get the vacation she deserves...
Her daughter backtalks...
She sarcastically says
"And now I have her"
Red Flag
I don't catch the sarcasm
She turns around
Continues digging
in her garden...

Hi! ^_^
My name is Hillery, with an 'e.' Nice to meet you. I'm new here but I've been writing poetry and flash fiction since I was a child. I like to write in the way that I think, so I guess it's kind of stream-of-consciousness at times.
