Daylight Robbery

Harry Atkinson

This rising sun

Doesn't help

Fingerprints left on my heart

Everything I touch

Feels the same

Though

Nothing is the same.

 

Unauthorised 

Remember to check ya batteries 

Mine failed to alert me

I got half of the answers 

I wanted 

That was all of the answers

I needed

The rest were figured out 

On my Jack-Jones.

 

I didn't require forensics 

To tell me they were yours

I knew

By the way the mess spelled out

G R E E D.

 

Two years later

I'm paying it all back

Because I forgot 

To fucking insure

The one thing 

You snatched from me.

    I admire the control in your write, let it all out, every last ounce - only way to make space for whatever awaits next: repeat, recycle - begin again, let this dance of life, never derail!
