Birthday From the Past

My dear old friend You haven’t realized how you’re heart has been faltering to the bitter black sweetness controlling your intransigent tongue. To whom it craves another loving credulous tongue that you wish to twist yourself But sad to come & find out, they all blackened as well. Unable to see through the blurred lines of confusion that you created a loop of loose tied compromises You bite your tongue swiftly & sharply to find the darkness seeping through. Glazing your broken sentimental fragments that have been left un-harmed for too long. Your familiar sweet face has morphed into someone that is unrecognizable & non friendly. I wallow when looking back at the thought of your stone cold bleak eyes that tell too many tall tale white lies. You will lay anybody out on the frozen pavement without any remorse or concern As long as you’re the only one that is out of harms way. I miss the one I fell so deeply for that I’d change without hesitation as long as there might’ve been a chance to savor what’s left of him. I hate how you’ve taken his shape but I know it isn’t my place to say whether or not you should’ve changed. So I’m here to say for one more last time Happy birthday my dear old friend; Till we meet again in a new age of light & that this time you would stay the same & nor change next time <3
