It hangs there
three buttons
classic cut
black on black
transported to a time gone by
despite the pesky yellow florescents
I smiled at the new me
while a radiance reflected back
a twinkle in my eye
he was the furthest away any person could be
or so it seemed from my post on this pedestal
frozen adventures and a new love
occupying his space, his time
as here I stood delightedly
three buttons
classic cut
black on black
risky business on my mind
surging into unmapped expanses
my mind wandering forward
imagination running wildly unfettered
all I wanted would simply be
doubt afforded no license whatsoever
and hopes ...
hopes gushed over my palms like waterfalls of petals
too many to grasp
too beautiful to restrain
why bother storing up each precious droplet
who needs a reservoir when rivers and oceans exist
no I, I'd allow floodgates of promise to open wide
releasing potential to discover and experience unhindered
I wondered if he'd see me now
but, sending double glances in my own direction, sight I gained
three buttons
classic cut
black on black
no use looking behind
this luminous future bright, ahead
and I, a girl no longer, abandoned home
so I might become ...
three buttons
classic cut
black on black
now only to gain this piece of her back
this would be something indeed.
