amnesty;
your half-felt lies [of your broken promise {both the ones you’ve made
and the ones you’ve lost}]
your annoyed half-smile [your regretted almost-jump]
you fail to see;
the meaning of the word;
you know there will be no…
amnesty
for you
[who would be insane enough to offer it?]
your heart thumps; your thoughts bleed
your breath kills; your mind weaves
mercy
unsure what that may be
you
don’t know
where you’re coming from
where you’re supposed to be
(secrets and lies; lies and secrets)
afraid;
alone;
unprotected;
you know there will be no
amnesty
for you.
