Mellifluous Murmurs

Time To Kill

You could hear voices

Of ones 

That were, 

once upon a time, 

the closest people to me.

I just suddenly caught them in the act-

They shed their skin

Changed masks

Switched tongues,

They even replaced their hearts.

I found the good in you. 

I dug deep into the blunder;

Pure black.

Pure misery.

A nightmare.

All of what I saw was cheat.

All of what I saw was my poetry coming alive

Into actions

Into words.

But all I could say is that

You, my friend, 

were looking for some time to kill 

The same time I was looking

For my memories dressed in beautiful butterflies.

You were looking for some time to kill

I was looking for some time to save. 

Time isn't everlasting

I'm not there yet,

But, 

What I know is that these memories we made

These conversations

Are placed in jars I don't want to open.

I feel numb.

I think I'll remain numb.
