You choke on the meds
the bitter taste of failure,
the coffee thick in your
indecisive throat.
Downstairs,
a baby howls like
a mistreated coyote
at the vaporizing moon
the all day affair
of listening to abandonment
thumping in your ears.
Across town,
a man you might have
learned to love
boards a bus
for greener pastures
the promise of keeping in touch
rolling in your mouth
like a pendulum uncertain
of its true purpose.
& in a tiny town
on the edge of oblivion,
your one-time, for-all-time lover
chokes on the daily defeat
feeling the chorus
of your blood
burst against her lips,
all the unspoken
It's not fair
And you feel like no one cares
But that's okay,
Tomorrow will be a better day
Dry your tears
Have no fear,
For I will always be here
The rain is done
The time has come
For you to go on your way
Just don't look back
I'm on your tracks
Just know you'll always have me
These words,
They hurt like a stake to the heart.
"I... Hate you",
Says the heartless boy to the desperate girl.
"I wish we'd never met",
Says the girl with a sob hanging on every word.
They part ways,
Never to see one another again.
I see him
I want him
I can't have him
I question life and why it is so cruel
It seems life is just a game...
One I'll never win
More about HIM...
He lurks in the shadows, stealing girls' hearts
He says nothing when I see him, for
He has no idea I exist
THat's the way of life, I suppose
It is the beautiful misery that no one knows
