Heal Your Angst

Unlock your life’s padlock and turn not hands of time Whether lemonade from lassitude lemons Tastes awful, text messages irritate the mime Your rate unfunny as savoury sermons Scare daylights out of the bittersweet life you live Regardless of storms that rage all around you Swirling, churning your entrails as long as you can’t forgive The bae who tore up your penchant for fickle feelings that chew Memories, cherries and strawberries you once held dear Until heartaches from mistakes and ill tastes Flew and grew into your inner recesses instilling the fear Love brought in the wake of cuts and pastes You deride, a snide smile on the face Worn out, fed up with routine, anxious for a facelift In search of elusive answers macho men misplace In a baseless belief a thief involved in a love shoplift Stalks the life that turns its back on romance The nemesis that time after time draws your attention To a gregarious guillotine primed to slay the angst which on balance Eats up the appetite whose sight on your blacklist deserves no memorable mention.
