~ ~ No Mercy ~ ~

Your cigarette smoke Billows, through the incoming light Swirling, stale reminders Of passion's flames extinguished My head rests against The window pane, my finger Traces your fading Outline, as you walk away On the walk ways end Stopping, you turn, looking back Winds gently blowing Whipping, your dark mane of hair Your jade eyes softly Misting, sorrowful goodbyes Long last looks, committing Carving memories into stone I should beckon you Back into my waiting arms Blowing a kiss, you Turn away, into darkness My fist against the glass Falling shards of "I should haves," cut My heart, flesh, I bleed Blood spills "I love you's" in streams Picking up scattered Bits of heart, soul, at my feet Pieces of me, that You wanted, needed to have Sifting charred remains Alone forever in my house, of Laughter, tears, love made Our memories, ashes, of yesterday
