Tears in the Dark
Are you Nobody, too?"
chanted like a charm against the dark,
each word falls in line, splashing to their doom
in the tea.
bag of grounds sitting on the plate
cold brownish liquid seeping
towards an unfinished sandwich,
bite marks fresh in the bread and jelly
stamped on the napkin where he left it,
crumpled with her empty pack of cigarettes,
the tobacco smell taking him back
to the time where love meant more
than bruises in the dark places
where no one could see her rings stamped in his flesh
marking her territory for trespassers to see
the chains. He was bound by
her love carved in the tree bark.
L.S + T.J. Forever and ever.
