Take it with you when you go |
Living down to the level of your lowered expectations never a problem Breaks a heart to think too much Summer of contrasts in memory You hear what you want to hear Never changed, did it? So vivid to think of it as in the past Much clearer than when it was immediate, threatening. There is a hollow echo to the laughter. Beats a spirit down to hope for brighter days Like a big mistake hanging in the distance..... Autumn looms large promising a swift finish to an unopened chamber or was it an envelope? Taking a gun for the road paints a whole different picture of goodbyes never said Aim carefully One shot is all it takes to break it forever...... Oh, and it is beyond repair - Don't make that mistake again Offered it to you, did he? Some sort of afterthought Gift that keeps on giving Ride away without a backward glance..... Hearts shattered, on the ground Shredded paper in your rear view mirror Never Seen Flat joke, something about blood on the wall.. Once again, irrelevant in July. A lot of things are..... 35 Lines ~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you so much to Mandy for the lovely awardicon and to the lovely person who nominated this poem for an Award! |
