My Dear Poet Jul 2024
We slipped into the other
steadying ourselves
we balanced our hearts
till we fell into love

Why do you always do that?”, she asked

What?”, I replied

That thing you always do! Even when I say don’t!

Am I doing it now?”, I asked

No…but when you do…don’t!

So, when I do it, you want me not to?

Yes!“, she exclaimed

So for me to stop doing it…I’d need to do it…right?”, I asked.

I feel so sad”, she sad.

Someone’s muzzled happiness and locked her in a basement”, I replied.
You just need to find her”.

What if I found her dead?”, she asked.

I went up
then came down

and
                           here I am
                                                   again

I went in
and back around

and
                           here I am
                                                   again

I took off
to be found

back
                here
                               again


whether I go
I’m bound
            
  back
                   here
                               again
