I'll Never Be Your Girl Again...Illusions

 

If my eyes could have seen

behind the icicled frame of your heart

and

the glacial pall of your soul

Then perhaps…

I could begin to understand it all

My shivering heart wouldn’t have expected

anything

Not anything at all

Your arms

 like cold, dead branches

on a winter’s tree

who was I

and what was I ever to be to you?

Simply someone

that you could use

and graze carelessly upon my heart?

You’re drunk on you

with coiled arms wrapped around yourself

I asked my heart

“Oh heart, why did you accept such penance

such selfish paltry crumbs”?

You ran, you failed me, time and time again

heightening my pain

You were not a man of courage

So this time

I left you instead

Keep on running

Just keep 0n

running from yourself
