A penny...

A penny for my nightmares,
A penny for my tears.

Stay right where you are,

Don't come any near.

Who are you?

Some lost and broken pot.

Spilling over,

All hatred- cold and hot.

I cannot change,

What has happened and what has been.

But I can choose to keep on walking,

Away from this tragic scene.

Not a penny,

Not even a nickle for your thoughts.

Never will be,

You'll never be in my heart.

Maybe you had your chances,

Maybe you had not.

But this twisted thing is over,

Never again to start.

So stay right where you are now,

Yards and miles apart.

Not a penny for your thoughts today,

Not  in my heart.
