Goodbye to yesterday,

Tomorrow is another day

For you, for me, for their prying eyes

I sleep.

The last petal fell off the rose you gave to me.

The last beat of my heart choked in the promise

The promise of friendship…

The promise of odium.

A flame, I flicker in the dark

On, off, on, off…

I dance in the limbo of your company

Freed by Isadora’s scarves

But another – Another I see

The one my eyes have followed wistfully.

But we could not be my dear

To tell him… I fear.

Elation and trepidation filled in my throat when we first met

Forever my heart will reminisce

But, sunrise come and sunrise go,

Sunset brings apon it the promise of another day.

I flicker.
