Cilly

It could have been a 'k'
after all, at some point, you,
the others being too simple to discern,
made the choice: 'c'
tatooed on my soul

Over the 'c' of silence you drifted
that my eyes might 'c', however fleetingly,
the specter of what could have been-
what almost was

You chose the lesser of three evils
can you 'c' now
how fallible the senses?
