Cover your tracks

I knew where to find it

You hide it in the same place every time

I wasn’t sure what I wanted to find

I saw it

Or at least what remained of it

You don’t cover your tracks

I wish you would

But now they're the only tracks that fit my feet

The only path I know how to follow

I wish I blamed you over myself

I hover over it and feel a strange sense of calm

As well as a sense of panic

You don’t love me enough to stop

You love me enough to hide it

But not that well

I know none of this is true

You tell me you don’t deserve me

The reasonable part of me disagrees

But the twisted part of me wants to agree

But I know we need each other

I remember all the times

I hid mine in the same place every time

Praying you wouldn’t find it

And see me for who I really am

I know my inevitable

I hope every night that this isn’t my future

But part of me knows

It’s already my past

And, sadly, my present

[Coyote Poetry]

I liked the hard honest tone of the words dear Olivia.
"I know my inevitable
I hope every night that this isn’t my future
But part of me knows
It’s already my past
And, sadly, my present"
The above line are solid. "It's already the past. sadly, my present" .. I tell people. Today is important. Go forward, have fun and find something to make you happy. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.
