Casually
Tossed aside.
A casualty
Of the affections
Of a heart that was
Racing so fast,
It forgot to check
It’s rear mirrors
And inevitably
Crashed.
Discarded and disused,
Gone and forgotten.
A whisper in the memories
Of many nights long passed,
When stars would shine
For two unlucky lovers
Who thought they held time.
Downcast and disconsolate.
A girl who’s name you used to know,
A boy who’s heart you used to hold.
Lips that would part yours in kiss,
Are clamped together in a thin line.
Underscoring their disapproval of you.
Shuffling forward,
Away from the toxicity.
Your departure is as silent as a petal
Falling to the ground.
