Had Me In A Choke Hold
You deserved a long goodbye,
a long and tight hug to force out tears
and maybe un-stifle our hearts.
The words, I love you,
had me in a choke hold.
Two friends,
who hurt
each other
like lovers.
I tried to be an automaton;Β stolid faced,
but I lost my grace.
I wish now that
I had remembered
to come up for air.
Or remembered,
that it was through open hearts
that we entered each other's lives
so long ago.
Maybe I did not love you at all,
because I didn't try to hold on to you.
Maybe I loved you too much,
& maybe that is why I let you go.
Now I just want to know:
How do you open at the close?
