you coward - tell me to my face
"I loved you with everything I had"
thoughts of you corrode my brain
the vines slither and grow; the overgrowth over takes my mind
your name taste like acid
your apologies leave five lines burning red across my cheek
sorry - Sorry - SORRY
are you?
memories of that word run marathons through a looking glass
I cry looking at my reflection
remembering your fingers on my skin
flashbacks of that touch make my body temperature plummet -
you were the best and the worst - at the same time.
and you come crawling back like the greens in my head
trying for who we were to return like the undead
salty sobs spill from my sparkling eyes
crying tears of wishing not to miss you
forgiveness hangs by her nails on the tip of my tongue
waiting to fall into your grasp
your claws pawing at her dangling feet
but she won't fall for you
not again
