She said:
I'm ready now -
Ready to be
in love

He said:
Someday, soon.
You will meet someone
who will constantly
and continually
move you.

She thought:
Not you?

He thought:
Please
let it be
me.

When the daily struggle to:
1. be relevant
2. do something with this life
3. have purpose
4. feel loved
5. find happiness

is pointless.

hope in my skin
sadness within
steps i hear
echoing here

words of positivity
growing in intensity
tension i feel
nothing is real

silence all around
screaming but sound
"you are beautiful"
"we were wonderful"

everything is creeping
ring ring ring
she is gone
there was none

I cast you in me -
My story you don't know,
my questions you can't answer.

I cast you in me -
so, maybe;
you can understand

I cast you in me -
embracing everything you are,
accepting everything I am not.

I cast you in me -
forgetting the shadows,
regretting the days.

I cast you in me
as I wish
you cast
in me

more to me than:
all the picassos at the Met
all the dictionaries in the library
all the concertos playing
all the ads posted
all the beauty the world offers.

For we,
               are beyond this life,
                                                     M my love.
