Bitter

M & S, sign aglow,
Meet you there tonight
beneath flashing fairy lights,
monochrome in white.

Rain dripping from eyelashes
The high street deserted
Smoking cigarettes like love
Inadequacy diverted.

Finally some release
From darker shades of grey
Loneliness has gone
Just guilt won’t go away.

So I’m bitter- I accept it
So you love me- I reject it.
