Forever Lost

Walking

crossroads in the distance

fleeing

directionless

only wanting to escape

to be free

unwrap the cords that bind you to me.

Should have been a partnership

a relationship we both wanted

until it became a fear

a terror

causing me to run into the night

forever looking back

praying never discover my flight.

Tenderness

lust

desire

want

melded together to look like love?

You hurt me like no other

pain searing the surface of my heart

wrenching free trust

blind eyes can no longer be turned

tears leaving a trail of heartbeats behind me

enough to track me

if only you really cared.

That is the rub is it not?

You told me you loved

you told me you cared

you told me…..

that forever I would be yours.

Liar Liar

pants on fire…..

please

do not mind

watch as I skewer my heart

roast it over the fire

burnt ash

forever bitter in your mouth.

No home is left for me

no place to hang my hat

to shelter my soul

vagabond I have become

traveller on the road

forever hidden

forever on the run.
