Concrete Tears

 I walk the concrete streets with tears 
   Memories ripped inside out 
   erased and gone 
   Street rhythms tatooing in my soul 
   My eyelids shutter as streetscenes 
   imprint upon my mind. 

   I walk the streets alone again 
   except for the tears as my companions 
   For sharing the tableaux with you 
   is my desire 

   To walk the concrete streets in joy, 
   arms entwined 
   Partaking of the city beat 
   our souls synchronized to its pace 

   I walk the concrete streets anew 
   alone no more 
   For I am renewed 
   imbued with your spirit 
   Replacing the pain of past purgatories 
   with a dance of destiny. 

   I walked the concrete streets with tears 
   and proven false memories 
   juggled images of past perogatives awry 
   but now with you 
   We can slow dance to the concrete street harmony 
   made by us.
