re-traced


Between us is spaces untold

confused by feelings and swayed by emotions

the prolonged pulse of someone so bold

and the imagination of a breath separated by sadnesss.

I have loved you like the sweet honeycomb bear

the strange fluttering sensation in my chest that froze 

for that moment I was in a trance and life was a glare

that separated us from existing to living.

why did he say that?

is what im feeling real? 

the anxiety of being left aside as a piece of trash

does he not know what it means to love?

Thundered anger arose within and upon us

the difference is lust of a spared moment

puzzling territories of a screeching trust

scraped all across the bedroom walls and a forsaken soul.

To his surprise he reacted out of courtesy and repetition,

she knew what was going to happen, what lied ahead of the road 

the desperate child that would become amunition

the tragedy of an un-fortold memory abandoned.

 A vow of silence slipped through the gate that beckoned

so promptly, it completely destroyed and abused

the spark of hope that lasted for a single second

that led hope to became the last taste of an angel that withered away.
