Overdue
October 9, 2019
Someone tried to decorate my skull. My future, smiling with innocence in her heart as she dissolves in her past,
but it's my present
Her song would have been enough to sustain both, had I
enough left to utter endearment, perhaps regret
but i seize before drawing breath
for my heart is now rust
and the dove flutters restlessly
trapped in my lungs with false hope of lifeblood, waiting for a train
but I already slashed the track to ruins.
