Poems
Dec 2014
What we have when we leave
Stuck in guilt tattled by perpetual emotion she tries to find her devotion
She looks from face to face
Trying to find her place
While she secretly aches
To drown in his ocean
A runaway slave
Trying to find her grave
He makes the hours
In her head
Into minutes
Quickened hearts beat
As she seeks
A final home
to rest her bones
He reminds her that life is too short to find matching pairs of socks
Now she wanders on a terrain of rocks
Maybe it could've been
A smile overcomes her
Overwhelms her
But he compels her
Despite his lack of trust
For an honest open love
Arms open for that of a skeleton
They know each of the others relevance
His heart is hers to own
As he sits and cradles her unmarked tombstone
