Stealing Lemons

The light is there

but it’s weak

smothered

by cold air

You’re still afraid

We’d be miserable anyways

I’m stealing lemons

and breaking bonds

I dreamt of burning it down

I left dynamite

in the house

I can’t deal with it

And running 

past me

are eager teens

I’m barely moving

“What is happening?!”

I never screamed

It’s my brain itching

it hurts to be nice

I have no where to hide

my body is now a show

I don’t want to anymore

And I’m angry again

Until I regain my 

sympathies for you

A kid with special needs

caught me stealing

from his lemon tree

His mom got angry at him 

for yelling

She didn’t see me

hiding in the bushes

I’m sorry for that

for making her think

You were crazy

It’s sinking

I’m sinking

with it

Darkness follows

Stealing lemons…yes…YES! Down to business…favourites, check! Ugly emotions made beautiful…that’s a skill! I was desperate for an escape and I’m not involved in the relationship. It’s a shame when the love’s gone but people still insist on playing chicken…no wants to be the one to leave so no one leaves there…just stuck…faking love sometimes even hate just to pretend to care!
You had me at…
