Old fur coat

Is the heart pounding louder or just my ears

is the grim infused in air or just my fears

my eyes set on door and peruse the road

the ticks of the clock feels tip of the spear

my lips gone dry and grief stuck in throat
i love another !! honey, read your endnote
my face seemed so stiff, unable to emote
and chest open wide
there you left my heart to rot
i swear in god i love you
but what would i do now
and shivering never ceases under your old fur coat


i felt the arms that wrapped me
and sensed them treading back
for now they hold another
these are memories in a stack


they are tears of my making
as i got me lovesick blues
wish i hadn't let you through my heart
so my lashes won't soak in dews
