I knew what I was doing, I always do
I moved my mind into believing that I was there
that we were paired, alone, that the world
forgot about us but it was okay, and I was so warm
so warm and so beautiful that I woke up and realized
that it was not- and for that, I cried, but not really
because I cry for fear and not loss now
I realized that the most tender and valuable thing I have
is my heart, and I've neglected it for so long
****** it dry and left it there- and only now
can I feel myself healing.
