Coward

Time slipped by so silently

Never a whisper or hint of it's passing.

Moving forward at its own pace,

Slowly, quickly, hurriedly.

Until the moment you became the thing you hate.

Forging ahead with no concern or desire to know another persons

Thoughts or feelings.

Concerned only with what you had to say.

Don't blink.

You've missed the mark. Your hasty departure left a sting of betrayal.

No sadness lingers.

Just the words left unspoken on my tongue, burning as if they could scorch eternity and bring justice to your indifference.

Your lack of bravado radiating around you as you slithered away like a serpent.

Leaving a trail of yourown rubbish;

Lies you told yourself to make you feel better,

About being a coward.
