You told me
you wanted to give me
everything,
Every part of you
Once up on a reel of time,
I felt the real you,
Every time I looked at you,
under all our lies.
I fell in love with you,
I am in love with you,
I love you.

You told me
Stringing along was not my part
But the words leaked out your face
I saw them stream into your ears
Tickle your nerves,
the hairs on the back of your neck stood out…
Were you trying to convince yourself

We shared something beautiful
something amazingly tragic,

I spoke to the divine once begging for enlightenment
Vowing I’d sacrifice anything
to be indulged, by divine intervention,
but you, I don’t know how I’d sacrifice you,
or maybe I do.

I’m departing in June, at noon,
I told you.
I saw the beginning of your blue,
How it grew.

Here’s a secret
One just for you
I’m leaving sooner..
Thanks to you,
Don’t feel bad, heck I know I can’t stop the sad .
Be mad,
go crazy
rip our memories to shreds
pick them up and glue the pieces
store them away
for when your at wits end
Do what you do best, all over again.

I hope to fall in love again,
To be the other, to another.
Not a brother, sister or lover.
I want to be the loved.

You told me
she was a woman you loved , dearly
and then called me one too.
I can't sit by
while you figure out what you want.
From me,
From life,
From her
I'm going to have to go places.

Don’t want me,
I think it’s best you never find me
I’ll be the blind to your minds eye
If you blink hard enough
I’ll be here,
There,
Everywhere.

Enjoy a life worth living,
