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
