Droplet
Steven S. Nam
Time sifts like a snake in the grass
Regrets of decision, longing for a second chance
Lick of fire upon feverish skin
Digging fingernails into one's scalp, digging and digging
Yet that droplet of relent never arrives.
So don't scream.
Don't cry.
So don't regret.
And don't lie.
Bitterness found in succumbing to bitterness
Life relished through accepting
Since life will always go on
As perennial as the stars.
