I open, like a damaged valve,
my own heart destroying itself
but still wanting to live
The irony of that
is I am too alive to die
I can only quiver at
the familiarity of your
turned back,
Your ritual lullaby
How you Hush Baby,
How,
You Don’t Say A Word
And love
is the deceitful eye of
a hurricane
The bliss just isn’t real
And what is real-
comes knocking at the worst
possible time
I am constantly
in a smoldering state
of ache for you
Like that town
in PA
that’s been burning
underground
for six whole decades
How could I expect anyone
to call that Home
when I can’t even stomach
July at mid-day
And I can’t stomach
that one monumental
lie
about you and an
empty parking lot
where I saw
that neither your head
nor your hand
were empty at all
I saw.
And even then
I still want to belong
in some tiny dream
of yours
where you don’t flip
over in our bed
without securing
me first
where the night
fades into a heavy Red
with the journey
of the sun
And I wake
even metaphorically
still in your
loving arms
Beautiful elegantly rendered
Beautiful elegantly rendered but humble and rather charming. Hugss
