Another Day Poem by Marcquiese Burrell

Feel someway you were only
gone for half an hour
and the second you're away
I could barely breathe
Can't turn back what
the hands of time have stolen
Heart feeling so heavy,
I'm having contractions
You looked too comfortable
oops... it happened again
got caught in the act
it's where you've lost me
I can't say this is love
when all I think of
what wasn't so innocent
Face covered in nothing but tears,
Mind blocks any rational thoughts
These legs were made for walking
that's what they're going to do
Tonights the night where you will
find me outside the door to you
jacket on the floor
in this moment I am sure
I found the reason i'm here
I must confront all I fear
I am down to ride or die
Then visions of love flashed
Back when we were alive
when reality called,
I'd say goodbye
I got to make it right
with the love of my life
Almost gave away my privacy
It's put under lock and key
I am spoken for but acting newly single
just me being bound to you
make me turn it down for you
All along you were innocent
What a relief but underneath
I wanted for it to be true
Maybe to justify my actions
The heart is a house for love
and mine is under construction
Thought my victory saw defeat
It wasn't a case between the cheats
Guess the test seen how deep was my love
I would never ever want to hurt you
And if I told you, you won't understand
I belong to you not just for a night
but I can't sleep another day
I can't get accustomed to the deep regret
and the guilts taking me over
