The Phrases (II)
The honest sentiment, the romantic
& pure sound you chased all your life
Miles said Don’t waste any phrases
You want key changes & discord
How could she say Don’t waste my time
When she really meant Give me your best
(But given the stakes, how could
She even know what she said?)
Around you the invisible senses swarm
Occasionally one is a fly on your skin
You revisit all the times you wasted
The lights change colour. You cross.
