Fingers stop mid-air
poised, frozen
unable
to move; cannot
heart pauses; a hush
eyes close, involuntary
this melody
long forgotten,hoped
plays unbidden
treacherous beat
traitor heart
breaths hitch
fingers shake
open and close
on the cold wood
blank screen
blinking cursor
taunting curse
the mind had hoped
the heart just...
traitor
eyes open, head turns
towards the open window
so it has been raining
fingers clench
to stop the flow
of blood and hurt
towards the traitorous heart
stop please stop
Not now, stop
the mind had hoped
gaze drawn to the floor
*drowning shadows once more.
-Not Again
*Sam Smith, you done me.
