Is it really you
Looking
down at your shoes
With
your heels
Flying
off into the air
Like
dortothy
From
the Wizard of Oz,
Before
laying across the table
With
a half cut smile
And
a sodium glow
From
the nearby lamp
Clearly
flickering
Fucking
hell.
Was
it really you
Stood
in the rain
As
I walked out
Of
the station
Smiling
at me
Like
a ghost,
Before
pulling up
Your
hood
And
a blue flame
Shot
out of your mouth
With
an almost
Dragon
breath.
Was
it ever really you
In
this so called
endured
happiness
Before
the storm
That
followed the rain
Wiped
everything away
Or
did you just bend over
To
put everything away
Without
really thinking
Like
a abandoned martyr
With
a imaginary car
Closing
in behind,
Longing
to escape.
(Day 27 off NaPoWriMo asked for 'Today, I challenge you to write a nursery rhyme or clapping rhyme. Most nursery and clapping rhymes have strong rhythms, use rhyme and repetition extensively, and aren’t overly concerned with makingsense. If you’re having trouble getting started, you might start with an existing nursery or clapping rhyme and play with its form, substituting words. Hopefully, this will make for a fun and easy way to end your work-week!'. Sadly this would have taken more time than possible during to work, so I wrote something totally different)
