Petals and Leaves

By Katrina Armour

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Will you credit me this last goodbye, This one last pain in your heart? Can I have the mind you've wasted on her, This one last moment, So I can caress it Then smash it on my knee? Sweetie, what have we done to our cheeks, Now tear-streaked and numb? They used to blush lively When the other set was in their perception But now they're looking more and more like Sagging bags of dry fall leaves, Withering from their trees In preparation for the coming winter. We will freeze together but on different terms; We will cry together but in different homes; We will crawl together but to different locations; We will fall together but break different bones. Just give me your heart one last time So I can rip it apart And piece it back together with the Tears of my regret. Written October 9th, 2001 © on Oct 09 2001 11:05 AM PST, Katrina Armour   0 • 8
