M. Aline

This town never seemed as big

Until you moved right in

This coffee shop never seemed as small

Until a crowd blew in

As if there were a winter storm

White flurries that landed on your tongue

Made you laugh as you ran in circles

Throwing your hands up to surrender

This house is not a home

When these windows broke

And you were the suspect of interest

Don’t believe it

Until you’ve seen it

Your own eyes reveal

What’s been hiding in plain sight

Lies and betrayal

Your chest against the rails

Heart beating wildly against the raging wind

That you summoned with your snowflake tongue

Are we just mere strangers in the night

My trust is no longer yours

You waited too long

Now I’m never coming back

This town is too small for the both of us

You should leave before I do

But I know you won’t make that choice

I must leave what I know behind

And learn to begin anew where you won’t be present

Where my time is no longer yours

This town used to be small

But people like you have made it into a city

Control is what you want

But evil shall be cast down in the final round

I’m too bad at goodbyes

But there were some I didn’t owe

Some meaning one

One was you

This is my way of goodbye

Now I leave

To walk down a new road

With a lower price
