Poetry

GOODBYE STRANGER

Generous claps. Greedy ears.

Ogling eyes boring into mine

Often jealous; occasionally divine.

Devoted minds creating tears

Brightened horizons; casual tides

Years of indecision creates divide

Everybody’s equal, yet it’s up to you to decide.

Sitting back watching the crowds go by,

Till the night draws in, to live the lie

Rejection neglected, obsessed accepted.

Acoustic angels we may be

Never acknowledged as humans,

Gladly approved as supernatural illusions.

Each second goes by. Tick Tock, flee.

Recovery necessary, you and I were both decepted.
