POETRY | Unforgiven




You stood on the verge of a pier

Lulled by the howling of the sea

Solemnly staring at the water

a flash glimmers amongst the creases of the waves


A faint shadow

You squint and the outlines became distinct 

Gradually forming a picturesque of a man 

riddled with discontent


Stop making that face

Broken capillaries on your sniffer

The yellowing of the skin


Could have saved the girl

 You kept saying to yourself


You crawled back inside the bottle

To drown your regrets in cheap booze


The bulge on your jacket gets heavier

The big iron started making sense


Odd 


A clap of thunder breaks the silence of the night
