Tapping Your Heart's Savings Account
always a decision -
conscious, despairing
maybe..maybe not...
maybe just don't think about it
when the heart
fires
on only
two cylinders,
the stroke weak,
the "I love you's"
worn, not warm,
you gotta decide
tap the savings account
of good memories,
reasons for
to keep on trying,
to reviving
the investment
of loving her
dreading the drawing down,
watching the balance
wrong way creep,
but you do it
anyway
for old time's sake,
rather than forsake,
it all...
but the tap tap tap
is just a raving
drunk poetraven
from Baltimore,
saying over and over again
nevermore,*
you don't want to decide what exactly
when*
will be
nevermore
so tap tap tap
always a decision -
conscious, despairing
maybe..maybe not...
maybe just don't think about it
when the heart
fires
on only
two cylinders,
the stroke weak,
the "I love you's"
worn, not warm,
you gotta decide
tap the savings account
of good memories,
reasons for
to keep on trying,
to reviving
the investment
of loving her
dreading the drawing down,
watching the balance

for old time's sake,
