The Bystander

I was thinking in between criminals,
Bystanders and such
With Mercury, just swallow
An interrupted dance
And they were there when you were born
That troubled feeling in your gut
Sleeping beauty of a new planet
Left with nothing else to say
A jesture, broken by two
By force, it was broken by you
& Me
We both were strangled in jealously
Now left with dead words
As dry as the leaves that fell
(when we did)
Garden of growth & regrets
I was the threat
Poisonious plant
Caved in by its own vines
Goodbye
I've said goodbye
One too many times
~
The custormers got up
Full in the mouths
Messy leftovers scattered
It was erased however
The minute they stepped out
onto the outside doormat
The trace of conversation
Their exsistances
Now nothing but a new table
Seated for two
A couple tired of each other
And then one day they're gone
For what effect we can have on this world
We must fight
Fight, until we aren't just empty seats
And coffins
