Just Yesterday
Waiting for a cab
to travel for hours
just to see your face
a smile melted
sunny side up
on a plate
of glass
through a window
eyes will meet
but they will be hollow
as I watch you laughing
sipping your coffee
made just how you like it
by some other girl.
Once We Were Lovers
I need you
again
like it was
when it was golden
in my bed
in my lungs
curled up
deep and tight
before
forked tongues split
lies and hate
festered in our skulls
my heart
it is yours
in the darkness, alone
with my breath
rasping
my heart…
Remembering
feet thumping
doors slamming, hard
how could you be so hard?
Your words pounding
my fists pounding
my cheeks
no longer rosy
not like the day
we met by that wild ocean
in amongst the tall
elm trees and
ghostly apparitions
how I feared those strangers
you carried me
away on whispers
promises, kisses
no more
No longer mine
No, not anymore.
take my heart
I no longer want it
now that it is yours
and you are gone.
