Teardrops
by Alisa JsI see your teardrops on my pillow
And I listen, amazed
To some feeble rendition of love gone astray
Again,
Dont you remember?
When I reached out
Believing for years, we were real
Planning our next breath
In spite of,
Trespasses around billowing shades
Sliding throughout those pathetic refrains
Of wonder lust lost between
The me and the you
I used to know,
The us I was so certain of
The we that died
And blew away
Inside those memories of circumstance
