You said it was
All that you could
Give me
Your eyes begging
For understanding
Your lips parting for
What you could give
But won’t
I don’t dare
To push for it
“We” were impossible
Possibly
I lower my eyes
Nod my head
Grab your finger
To tell you
I will take it
It’s better than
The nothing she prefers
Then you leave me
******
But I now have
Your heart
all rights reserved
Taut
Your face
Held in
A frown
That darkens
Rooms
Thoughts
Without it
You’d be
Beautiful
all rights reserved
Red
I dipped my
feet in
Red paint and
Walked into
Your bedroom
To show you
How I feel

Visibly silent screaming
Parched, now overjoyed

Deep within my soul lies a powerful being

Shall I unleash him into the wild

Allow him to run a mockery

I think not, I shouted across the land

I think not, I yelled unto the wild winds

Therefore I am only man

Who listens with broken ear

My bewildered heart shall be tamed

By the lioness who holds me dear

Gripping me tight, never letting go

Yet I remain calm

With mortality at rest
