Rhia Madison Thomer Poet Couplet

Something Is Still Scaring You

Unable to turn back, early morning finds me here again,
The clocks still ticking with hands of the mannequin.

Where winter sets in her lonely cold
And frozen blue lips leave a story untold.

And I closed my eyes but still fell to pieces
At the words of the monster as he preaches

With nothing left I ran away inside
From all I loved, but they had lied.

There could've been a way to get though his hate
But too soon it seems you would be too late

I took to drying those perfect tears
Dishonest with myself, I marry my fears.

Yet I could not force my heart to beat away from you
but something, my love, is still there scaring you.
