one pride less breath
another unguarded moment not with you
such mastery of solemn self perception
fences the few freedoms I allow my mind to still wallow in
being held in this aloneness
tortures the togetherness that we both long for
neither doubting how deeply the other feels
theres vulnerable joy swimming in this stagnant pool of separation
the fight in me tells me to breathe and to just keep on breathing
as such breath can not be stolen but better harnessed by me
to give to you
I am married for the moment to your sweet memory alone
but you remain the groom of my life time's wedding party
and we have many pages yet to pen in each other's book of life
you are that.....
you know my life...
such as it is....
