The Proposal






How do I speak of love
After this show 
Having been shown the exit before year-end 
Drowned in broken promise 
That has become the altar of persecution.

Left in a ring of I do's 
Pulling the petals to order 
Hope trumped with unsaid words 
Sad to even grace the lips 
Eying a distance call for reprieve.

Stepping in marinated worries 
Dancing upon racing thoughts 
"I...thought you were the one"
A broken record trailing the mind 
As I race to save my sanity 
Already ripped with your unsaid words.
