Search and Destroy
Â
I went looking for her
But instead i saw
the other boi
All savvy punk and crisp in her boots and leather jacket
She waved
Carrying the face of a hurt child thats been brave since October of last year
I call out
My own voice an echo
as her lips
move with mine
Her shadow faster
than my legs
can pedal
She doesn't want
to see me
and her failures of transplanted hearts that corrupt and implode
beneath the silence
"Quit fĂșcking running!"
I scream
I see her middle finger,
my M.O raised in indifference as she turns the corner
" We need to talk, I whisper."
Choking down the revelations with my back against the bricks
I kick a bottle
watch it scatter the nightmares
that for too long
I have abated while I enabled Her to keep running
Zipping up my leather
shoving fists deep into the pocket of my faded out jeans, I cry
Watching the
cobble mock me beneath the thud-thud
of my boots
Knowing I have to let me go
Again
I lift my arm and poise my hand
as i fly the bird
that everyone
knows me so well for
