Poetry / Lithium

lithium

  ...and she sings conflicted
  dares at dreaming
  tries to find the out-from-under
  inconsolable, her love
  won’t stop her from
   “can’t help but wonder”...

   ( how much, for time, can she unravel
     take for granted, wilted wither
     find that feeling right behind
    and become anything, but bitter? )

  ...stare the past down, heated gaze
  do listen, for the chilling whisper
  a jaded bullet, love withstands
  defiant wordings keep him with her…
