Let You Down Poem by Cena Rose

Walk quickly
Skittering across the two-way street
Pebbles flying,
Sweat cry-

Drip, Drip,
Drip

Heart -beating
Soles -bleeding
Breath -fleeing
Mind –sprinting

Stop

Turn around,
No thing there
Too bad
Empty street

Heart beat slow
Look around,
Composed
Wonder where, why, what?

Blink, Blink
Blink

Slow down heart
Question the nerve
Anger pulsate
Regret decision

What must I do
To get your attention
And let you know
Why do I always seem to let you down?

Must you always
Kill me
With your looks
Of disappointment?

Don’t

Because tomorrow
I won’t be here
To let you stop me
