St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day

A Poem by Anathema Herem

Nostalgia is biting at my heels again.
I was out spending time with a friend
when I walked into your store.
There you stood, hard-eyed and tall;
angry that you had to speak to me at all.
And I, the legendary psychotic ex?
I made my purchase and walked away.
Because honestly, what else was there to say?

A hundred nights held in your arms
ended in my brokenness
and that's all there is left between us,

so tip back your Guinness
and smile.

* * * * *

By the way, happy anniversary.
