Shed : Day 54 #100daysofwriting

I gave up
On you
On us
Today
Shed my role
As fool
As lover
Hollow warnings
Ring cold
You said
" You love more"
But look
How easily I turn
Love into surgery
I snip away
Sever
Remove
Throw away
Look how easily
I throw my hands
Into the air
And shed you
Like a skin outgrown
I boil
I steam
I puff away

Take Me Down : Day 31 #100daysofwriting

Take me down to the river
Where you first declared your love
Take me down to the river
Where you washed away my tears
Take me down to the river
Where you showed me your heart
Take me down to the river
Down to the river
The river
Where you slowly rowed away.
