i lifted my heavy body into the cold
when i heard you at the door
eyes red,
skin white.
you looked apologetic
and i, unforgiving
you stripped to the bone
to hold me close
and let my anger dissolve
one choked-out tear at a time
i yelled
and you listened
i finally
felt forgiven
and we drove away from the pain.
and when we stopped
you bought me a dreamcatcher.
but the irony i found is that,
my dear,
the only dream I'll ever have
is you.
