Salt in Yo’ Game





Why would I hold my breath?

I already know the result

Boxed you in ‘cause you let me

Never redefined my doubts

Just disregarded and confirmed

Too good when it started

And all things fall apart

Minutes race forward today

And gently strangle fresh memories

My mind wants me to stay

Emotions motion to run away

Speaking loud and steering clear

Of uncertain and undeserving…

Love to have left between last month and yesterday

But the now has me caught up

Just another expletive on the tip of my tongue

Soon to be swallowed whole, forgotten

Until the heartburn comes…
