Love Poem: Pass You By

Pass You By

You shuffled your feet through the dusty cracks
And left the door wide open
In a deep dull plume of lust attacks
The trees died from your arson


The shot was fired and our love was tired
Of tests you put us through
I stopped in my tracks
For the light was black
And I couldn’t pass you by.


The spikes of love cannot be trusted 
Your silent rocks of lies
Are now decaying from your acid 
And led your mind clockwise 

 
Now the days are short and the nights are long
With sleepless motion pools
Your whole life of passion was always wrong
And the seasons are so cruel

I can’t wash away the dust of us
And the blameless eyes of shame

I still can't pass you by.
