The Brunette
A Quote By: Alfred Lord Tennyson "Deep as first love, and wild as all regret "
The sidewalk crackled with heat but I walked on
towards a summer job of textile and lies
the morning sky was a shade of pennied copper
and the bus, an arrival place beneath the burning sun,
I consigned
and my heart ran
like a boomerang
curving me blind
I gave my heart to him alongside nineteen years of youth
then walked away from my yesterday without a single glance
we were two grown up kids making kids of our very own
but then we fell apart when the lies became uncouth
Deep as first love, and wild as all regret
we soon bled on the table of disconnect
when he cheated, I lost all respect
he traded me in with disparage, for a sassy brunette.
