A fish out of water
Washed over, a drowned rat
Shaken, overpoured, overpriced
Sickly and cold, once overdue, wondering why?
Droplets trickling down
Down to the gates
Lamplight eyes
Clout then cries
Brutalist sophistic
Try to smile it through
Just like you used to
What if you stay?
Trample, if you may
Your coat in the puddle
When fabric and want collides
Unable to mingle, faithful muddle
Throwback in favour, treasure slides
Guardian angel with bent wings
In my hour of need
“What do I do” I plead
Damp mascara
Worn out blade
The pen is mightier
Tied cement, cinder demise
Destined never to rise
Flicker dim heart
Abstract art
Burned over and trodden
Ink runs off when they all say farewell
A new page? Dead in the water
Your coat in the puddle
