Walking these foul stench streets at night
brings to me, the memory
of the love I once had for you.
As I thumb through pages of a story we once were in
and recall how it seemed to be, a tale that had no end
written out or read aloud
Despite this relationship only being fueled by the moonlight.
having those few but memorable late night conversations
under soft colored street lights,
only bright enough for the both of us
is where I felt at home.
Once that bulb along with my hope burnt out,
I was left to walk these foul stench streets alone.
Reminiscing of the love I once had for you and wanting to keep.
but since love has no place down dark streets
and destiny waits for no man,
not even a man in need like me
So while soul searching for love,
I found death, mindlessly wandering down a dark alley.
So I kissed him before he could kiss me, so not to
struggle and tangle with regret.
but to dive into the next life
for a chance to meet again.
Under soft colored street lights only bright enough for the both of us
and would be just another star without you and I beside it.
Looking now at these foul stenched streets and that late night speech
of how love has no place down dark streets.
When that's all a man has in his heart are dark streets,
littered with rejection and riddled with secrets.
I find myself alone and at home.
