She begged me to stay,
but pride seduced me into
running away.
I couldn't face her pity
smiles nor her looking
glass' seeing into my empty soul.
Confuse she maybe , but I
found love in dark cramped
spaces, trying to forget her
face.
From dusk to dawn I played
fast and loose. Giving only parts of me
while leaving behind pieces of her.
So I slept for days to forget the nights,
while rushing the nights to erase the
days.
Soon night become months with not a word,
just misplace dates filled with faceless playmates.
That feed on my lifeless soul so consumed in pain
I can't comprehend the cold. I no longer register
my face posted on buildboards, that read we love
and miss you please come home.
slowly slipping into the dark I remember
her face age with worry, salt and pepper
hair, and her smile how bright it seem
in this dream , pulling me in her arms.
I feel her tears on my lips wishing new life.
Like central park ,early october...
behind the bushes. upon the icy ground,
looked over as I begin to still.
Or early march in late afternoon
where my body lay covered in
snow along with the dead vines.
