smoker's voice trembling profanity
deaf to the satisfaction of young running feet
slamming the rain-soaked ground
her underlying fear rhythym snagged by the wind

false labels drive her further away
than apathy ever could
bitterness lurking on the fringe of their thoughts
tastes like pride-drunk blood and expression of lust

two lives broken by disallusionment
and secrets that a poker face doesn't disclose
she is the dream his inner child
aspires to be whenever he grows up.
