I remember back to the {early}days
The everydays && the /some/days
When we'd sit ::Hand+in+hand::
by the {stained-so-red}rocks
of Evansville Lake
((Oh, the !horror!))
As you slipped d ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
o \?/
w / \
n [into::the::water]
&& you =never= came back ^^up^^
Now those days are only ~|memories|~
tucked away beneath my m♥sc♥r♥ ridden lids
-[[For.Me.To.Recall.At.A.More.Convinient.Hour]]-
Each *hotel-room* !!scREam!!
&& lonely monday night
&& new person who I'll +[never]+ meet
\\sream at me in the street//
as I walk, head held high...
-::[and self esteem "lower" than the d i r t
they ...kick... on me]::-
My dreams haven't been the same
Since.you.last.said.my.name
[[Lips b\l\u\e from cold
and lack of @ir]]
Now I lay on the cold....hard...floor
of my seventeen-story [[one bedroom]] appartment
It's -minus twenty-two ={with windchill}=
&& I find this oh-so-!Ironic!
be/cause...
((That's the age::They put
on your G

V
E))
My window >wide open<
&& my clothes l(ieing) on the bedroom Floor
Love, I feel your ♥lips♥ again
((Or is it HypoThermIa ?setting in?))
&ForTheFirstTimeInMonths
I feel ...alive
as you wrap your %cold% arms around me
((Or maybe I'm just \\crazy//!))
&& Take-me-back

Author notes
I love the old, early Dirty Pretty: the high heel'd souls and the lipstick smeared glamour. I've tried on many occasion to write such work, and this, my first poem on AP in quite a while, is another stab at it. I hope you enjoyed it.
