Accelerant Tears


She cries over broken rearview things,
sideway decisions 
that can never be back pedal changed
Sad memories be gastric 
fumes of the last emotional wrong turn
Past petrol vapors 
igniting present date swerve heartburn

Pulse accelerant tears 
kindle sorrowful thoughts:
Remembrance of broken bosom pain
Wet pillow skid years,
trapped temporally aught 
behind the wheel of misfortune flame

She tries to get over the unsafe bridge of sighs;
but blurred vision
won’t let the past hurt go, it clearly never dies
Gasp recollection of accidental words,
fatal fumes of the last argumentive wrong turn
Regret fueled vapors
sparks a future spinster fate swerve heartburn

Accelerant tears
pulsating ask the tint rearview mirror,
who’s at fault?
Speed dial relationship got single digital shattered, very hastily
Wet hanky fears
make the crossroad choice less clearer,
all for naught
Old flames of guilt melt merging desire, now running on empty

Well written Freddie. I found this showing a full depth of pain someone carries. I hope all is well. Take care :)

Well, she can always be 'Queen of (Her Own) Aunt-Hill!' Maybe she can find some other 'spin-stirs' and get a 'thang' going. Peace and Hope, Gershon
