another gasp
raspy voices and coughs
scoffs and laughs
and the time that passed
here we are again
we knew, or
maybe just you
maybe i was just blind
hindsight and minds might
turn out the light
love, lust, and secrets
regrets and rust
there is no trust in us
we knew, or
maybe just i
maybe a lie
i’ll show you how to spell good-bye
but i’ll miss you tonight
but not for attention
retention, retained,
exasperated and sprained
i tried
but what for?
sometimes the effort isn’t enough
we knew, or
maybe just you
maybe a fix, but
not mine
affixed and fine
but not really
