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.
