#untangle
he helped me untangle
the knots in my mind
just by being there.

i was fine,
i was breathing,
but dying inside,
suffocating in an open field,
trapped in my own body
unable to set free.
i was like that.

Untangle my body from yours
Step number one
Untangle my gaze to stop from speaking volumes
Step number two
Untangle my dreams from reality with you
Step number three
Untangle my definition of happiness from your presence
Step number four
Untangle the future from possibilities containing us
Step number five
Untangle my person from yours
Impossible

Put your troubles into something else.
Don't use that razor blade again.
Or the blunt scalpel you keep.
Or even that bent kitchen knife.
Put your troubles into something else.
Leave the eyeliner on the shelf.
Leave the rubbers in the box.
Leave the earrings on the stand.
Put your troubles into something else.
How about the doodles you draw.
Or the stories that flow from your pen.
Even the paintings done at dawn.
Put your troubles into something else.
Maybe, even, me. I won't look at them.
I will gently untangle every one.
Trim them until they are all gone.
Put your troubles into something else.
Not a sealed chest.
Not a closed box.
Not a corked bottle.
Put your troubles into something else.
Let your mind be free.
Let your heart be free.
Let me be free.
