D Minor 

Jazz guitar
Slow
in D minor

A note that's allowed
to resonate
like
the pain
that's caused
and delivered

the shadowed sound
from the speakers
-is the sigh-
that pulls me back
to that place
but I wont respond
just keep 
-the kerb a foot away-
from turning
back around
to her

my wants 
are the rear-view 
mirror
that cause the
eye's to blink
wet memories
away
washed in rythmn 
-like the cab's
wipers-
with each argument
pushed aside

but her perfume
is still attached
to this guilty
drink.
