Bygone
I thought you were
from a bygone era
Carrying yourself
Like you cared
Hair neatly combed
Meticulously tinted black
Slick like a Cadillac
bare chested
Dripping sweat
Running like you thought
You still could
Hoping you'd be heard
By the people around
You that would
Trapped in time
By the too many voices
Going through your mind
Telling all the wrong ways
to move forward
Unheard again and again
Your thoughts fast turning
Into screams
While society raptures
At the seams
And all hope is gone
You couldn't take it no more
You couldn't find a way
to forgive, forget and move on
Deaf to the warning
You are now isolated until
The sun will usher in
Another solitary morning
