(2014)
She was never mine I was never her’s Neither loved as a possession Both possessed By the love we shared
Naked and unashamed The garden abandoned Acceptance exchanged alienation in judgement alone
One more meeting Just one more Rendezvous And the courage To speak up
It’s been 14 years Since we’ve spoken 14 years In which I’ve tried to Bury my regrets
2014-12-28-21-44-05 It is a myth When they say “The pieces you give away You never get back”
It has never changed My heart’s inclination. I am still drawn to you. Having known you I cannot see you
If anyone but you Had told me not to talk to you They would never have succeeded I let you go Because you asked me to.
Our love cost you dear It cost you all A price I would have willingly pa… Though that cost Sadly landed on you
I can no longer trust my mind not to betray me, and devour me To bury me with thoughts of insecu… Was it love was it something else
I’ve lost it again The words were just there Right on the tip Of my mind Now they’ve descended
There’s a hollow place Where your heart belongs Its vacuous emptiness Drains all compassion Consumes without satiation
Blessed to see Even momentarily To touch The greatest of heights reached by two people of one mind
I want to have it all A full meal with all the flavors Of the single morsel You fed me
The million incandescent bulbs that line Gibbs St from Barrett Place to Main go out just after midnight. Stragg… smokers sit or stand in the alley
Too long trapped Hopeless and caged Owned and enraged I saw a way out Extinguished my apathy
