Bottled Rain
How can you ask a man
Who loves you,
About the man you love?
If I was lesser than
I may play pretend and spin a thread
That pulls you closer to the center of my web.
But,
My love is a field of a thousand faceless corpses.
Each one a time when I swallowed pride, and
Gave you my mouth
So you could smile wide.
Little Lady,
Can you not see this calm bravado
Relies solely
On my never-blinking eyes.
For even a wink would have this city sink
Beneath
This grief I trap in ink.
You woke up and only met the sun today
Because,
In the dead of night
I cupped your pain, and
Drank your inclement weather like bottled rain.
Why me? You ask the man you once loved, about the man you now love. Caught in a paradox.
