Oh how you love her
It’s how planets move around,
So effortlessly

Oh how you mourn her
It’s how you miss memories,
So painfully

Oh how you see her
It’s how colors are painted,
So vividly

Oh how you leave her
It’s how leaves change shades,
So suddenly

Oh how you talk about her
It’s how words are born,
Through poetry.

This desire
For someone to love us
To care about us
And for us to take care of them,
If I have someone I can talk to,
And when they ask me questions,
The same topics and interests
Is there anything more fulfilling than that?
Could that be the point of life?
Could that be the purpose of living?
Or the bane of our existence?

Ave
I won't forget how it started,
Us looking for faith,
Coming from you all the words,
I was too afraid to say,

I won't forget how it went on,
Same old gray couch,
Touching elbows,
Never too close

And it's such jubilation
With flying, pointing arrows,
Late night talks, your hundred tales,
You left me in an empty maze

Sunday church,
The cheat card games,
As I think back now,
It feels unreal

So I drink my tea,
Let You laugh at me,
And on one summer Sunday eve,
I turn around to watch you leave.

You talk about attraction
But I only heard subtraction,
It's me leaving a building
It's you fleeing a country,

Still I count my numbers
If they are repeating,
Showing up
In various places,

I pay attention for a while
Before I lose my faith
In reading signs,
You know the feeling when magic dies.

But I paint you the sky
If you ask me for a cloud,
Tender is the Night,
Your lightning striking through the Sky.

The one that I painted,
So I can only blame me,
For me leaving a building,
And hating you for fleeing,

For being in love
With someone else
And when I was ready to tell you that,
You told me you were coming back.

And just like that, you are gone again.

I am like a lonely tree,
In an open field,
Roots don't touch.

Thy
I got new keys
Now it’s three of them
Like the letters in your name my friend

Three places to go
Among only one is home
Until I shall live in hope

Of finding home
And finding you
And finding out now what is true.
Dolores Jul 2022
I feel like I've been here for years
Loveless,
I feel like I've been here for decades
Motionless,
I feel like I've been here for centuries
Hopeless,
I feel like I've been here for millenniums
Sleepless,
I feel like I've been here for eons
Careless.
