Sneer

You sneer

The passion that breathes through me
Cuts through my pores to escape

Is a joke to you.
A game.

Is it just a game?

I don't mean anything more than

A few good times
A pack of beer
A beach fire

Near where we used to still be kids...

When we still had illusions
And hopes
And dreams

Tomorrow will be kinder
They said.

I say

Tomorrow,
will be closer
to the day
i let go of you

and the times we shared
the times you lied
the good and the bad

Tomorrow,
i'll be strong enough to let go

of you and your stupid sneer...


just not tonight.
