I sit here and wait
My bruised and battered heart
Tells tales more fearful
As hungry seconds slowly pass
In frightful moments
I didn't fall.
Essence of life
Truth is dying before my eyes
What am I to do?
Love greets me as a
stranger
Conspires with me to escape
Gracious, each time.
No memory stays
A Teflon heart wasted away
Come to me and gaze
Move over time, dance on the surface
Find me racked with guilt
Come for me, now.
