WORDS! <br /> <br />“I thought it would be <br />exciting <br /> <br />a real life flesh & blood <br />poet of your own <br /> <br />but you turned out to be <br />just paper & words. <br /> <br />You go all soggy <br />in the rain or the bath <br /> <br />and tear so easily <br />even with a teardrop.” <br /> <br />She lit another cigarette <br />and inadvertently set me alight <br /> <br />our relationship <br />going up in flames. <br /> <br /> <br />******* <br /> <br />IT’S NEVER TOO LATTE TO STOP NOW! <br /> <br />Ahhhh...at last <br />we had gone out for coffee <br /> <br />But she only mocked me <br />over her Mocha. <br /> <br />“Did you ever really think I could <br />would...fancy you? ” <br /> <br />She laughed incredulously <br /> <br />licking her top lip slowly <br />with the tip of her tongue. <br /> <br />I had a quick Espresso <br /> <br />and left <br /> <br />her laughter <br />echoing <br /> <br />behind me.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/old-flames-still-burn-you-up/
