Time To Go

The night air is crisp and cool, moistened by my trickling tears. For; I'm alone with my fears, left waiting here like a fool. Her lies lured me here tonight, using her persuasive voice. And she left me little choice, I didn't want to start a fight. She used every trick she knew, starting off with sexy talk. And had me ignore the clock, hinting my dreams could come true. Anxiety-fueled thoughts run the gauntlet of my mind. For; she is not always kind, tying my heart into knots. I have a thirst I can't quench, and a belly full of pain. But, here I wait once again, sitting on a cold park bench. I spy the first flakes of snow, starting to tumble and fall. And there's little chance she'll call, so; I guess it's time to go.

Definitely sad, one that many can relate to indeed. But as always, and like Miss Heidi said, a very well written piece :)

This is really sad Emile, I hope it is fictional.. A deep write, and one that needs to be read and heard..
