You are the bruises to my fist,
The impulse steering me through oncoming traffic.
Suicidal lapses play through my speakers.
“We’re slow dancing in a burning room.”
*
Hope slips through my fingers, memories at every turn,
Melancholic alcoholic; no suture where you permeated,
Gaping wounds and drafts of pain
“You’re so one in a million”
*
Heart shaped sunglasses, hindsight in darkened lenses
Regret glints; harsh reality, piercing retrospect
Harrowing double visioned rain and bow
“I’ve been locked out of heaven.”
*
Snap back to place, misshapen and broken
promises on sweet lips spill too loosely, sinking ships,
Titanic depths, lost to the ice cold abyss.
“I’ve got thick skin and an elastic heart.”
Even when all else seems bleak, remember that there’s hope, guiding hearts and minds.
