haughty oriole
Sudden glances, Empty trances, and a quick shudder as you meet eyes
A longing gaze matched with a heavy haze over this guise of being on the same side.
You shake with a guilty ache of the schemes you swore you left behind
And with a deep breath of all the air you have left
You leave with a fuzzy head and tongue tied.
Feelings flood against the tide-
Deep and moored in eachothers grand plan of demise
Uprooting the morals you planted long ago and have now abandoned in time
Time again passes despite your lagging mind
Thinking of the past; the feelings once had
Now ruined by the mistakes not taken back
So now you only glance
Only gaze
Only tranced, thinking of former days-
Waning in your thoughts and dismay,
Waiting for a chance to prove yourself faith
full of anticipating forgiveness, despite you knowing there is no forgiving what was sown
No grace for you is held in that familiar face,
So no use but to move on from the person you're pretending to loathe.
