Another old piece. I don't even remember writing it. But I like it, enough to post it, at least. Yes.
Burning stares as she walks past,
Fights to make it home at last.
A red light blinking- a burning text
Message that tells her what comes next.
-
She knows this scene- been here before
Deja vu, wrote the score.
Fingers itch and heartbeat races,
Avoid the answer, drown in paces.
-
Yes or no will poison surely,
Woeful fate clears much too early.
Look away, ignore the proof,
Won't burn herself on scalding truth.
