Teardrops On the Fire

Laughing for your

faithfulness -

So shallow now,

Withering..

Your two faces.

Sought to heal the

bludgeoned -

My paradise,

Asking,

All the why’s.

Why?

why!

If I could just see through him right this minute,

then my heart would stop being resilient.

Sleeping amidst twin

earthquakes -

In my head

Twisting my gut.

Better than running

on mildews -

Of teardrops

on the fire

Burning silently.

Then..

and then!

If there’s surety in life that fits like skin,

No pain, no doubt -

And everything’s so boring.

Scorching the rose’s

beautiful gaze -

She’s blind

Unsure,

But for a while.

Then gathering all

the colors once mistook -

no shades,

no grays

Behold!

Me!

Just me..
