Poem: Your pain-filled heartbeats echoing off cement walls
of cell block 15, reaching through bars
The night time stars were good to you
memories of her faded with each sunset
Now with changing seasons you’ll be seeing her 168 days

Is the same confusion behind her quiet façade?
Are you alone with a dirty secret?
With yesterday’s regrets?

Sitting in rafters of an ugly rhyme
can’t say sorry for everything.
Too far to fall this time.
It’s not easy to say Good-Bye
when each day you have to greet her like everyone else with a meaningless hello...

Is the same confusion behind her quiet façade?
Are you alone with a dirty secret?
With yesterday's regrets?

You may never know? Will you ever know?
Are we each alone with a dirty secret?
In each other’s yesterdays of regrets?

Never know, Cora Rose...
Never know, Cora Rose...
Never know Cora Rose?...
