I could have been a trace of lead
scribbled on paper
I could have been a lady bug
perched on a delicate flower
Or a helpless ant
carrying weight
twice my size
You would still
walk all over me
to get where you
wanted to be
I could have been a trace of lead
scribbled on paper
I could have been a lady bug
perched on a delicate flower
Or a helpless ant
carrying weight
twice my size
You would still
walk all over me
to get where you
wanted to be
The silence between you and I
cuts the air from my lungs
airways blocked by cinders and fallen debris
from the trainwreck that we were
What was a harmonious melody
only sour notes left
a distant sound barely audible
perhaps a sigh a gentle breeze
or a whisper from a dying ember.

like a metronome, time is passing by
waiting by the phone for a significant ring
from an important person…
that may or may not call at all
my heart is beating fast, my spirit is down
clouds are heavy carrying threats of rain
I will walk away after tonight, leaving this
unfortunate night
this heart of mine can’t bear anymore pain
and I know you don’t care
anymore…
