Description
In a selfish world, I confess, it wasn't easy to walk away from you.Yesterday was you
Raw picked bones
brittle and exposed.
Just a shell of the shell of
The girl you once were.
Empty eyed small talk
Tension.
To thick to breathe.
I take a quarter from my pocket
And it sticks in the air.
An oozy kind of sleaze
For appropriate thoughts
And misdeeds
yesterday was you
Emotionally frozen
like some cryogenic
dream
honest words disguised
cloaked in the tainted
blood of crossroads and
Holyrood
when you proclaimed me
The prophet to
Your guise
Finely printed
Terms & Conditions
untouched fingertips
left scalded by the
boiling divide.
Yesterday was the loss
of danger in your eyes
Replaced, instead,
by crippled fears
Yesterday was you...
letting go.
