sad story

 -
were i to set aside my pain,
and then could see from your side, plain;

    a cold and sullen vamp in chain
   misspoke distress in muted strain.
-


it's hard alone
fumbling through the grey
the static like teeth

you reach out.. … a dead line.

to call..
have it claw..
 as you wait..

 while they  prove..
   all your world..
      is in vain.

eyes on fire
as you stand there
in the rain.

i wasn't there for you.
and you weren't there for me.
ours is a sad story.
it's far too easy to misplace trust.
