The fragrance of what could have been between you and me
wafts like the foul stench of lies and ***
up my nostrils You cloud my vision
like the gentle creeping of the morning fog
upon a once black night The thought of you
makes all logical brain synapses fire
nonsensically around my head until the notion of loving you
makes sense
Oh, but it doesn't make sense You saw the rattled cage of my fear driven
soul and dared to poke your finger
between the bars Do I look like some kind of circus act to
you? some form of sick entertainment you
can pay to watch and leave whenever your greedy fingers reach the
end of the popcorn bag? Disposable, that's what I am
to you
You let me carry your loneliness with you
yet instead I walked away with all of it And now this heavy, gray cloud
of guilt is down pouring on me,
washing away any decency I had
before I met you, Before I met you
I was alone I thought our paths crossed
meant to intertwine as one destination, one purpose
but apparently those roads were
really just parallel all along
Like a drive by shooting you came and you left
the same way firing false hopes and empty words
in my already exposed chest I opened my heart to you
Something my anxiety disorder screams at my brain
never to let happen It squelches any flicker
of burning passion inside my body
Yet, even with the Prozac I still believed you were
the matchstick to ignite me
But now there is nothing left to say to you
I want to save some of these words
for someone who will reach
through those bars and join me.
