Fleeting glimpses

Inner minds staring eyes

Now unsure with trepidation

Who you thought you knew

Where you thought you were

Keeps hittin rewind

Playin the before time

“You are so cherished”

Way before I even knew

Where it was you really went

……… & with who

Empty words hang in the air

Decayed decade of lies

Replaced by silent space

Every time,

I glance sideways,

To see the vacancy of lies,

Nonchalant,

“Drummers, a dozen a dime…”

Behind shaded eyes,

I’m getting slammed by a semi.

“ Please say you’ll come over and chase the shadows away….”

blah blah blah….

I’m starting to not feel cherished anymore.
