What we had was so thick, I'm terrified no one else could cut through it. Even if they could, I can't say my whole heart would want it. So I pray, that if you're praying too, God could be our top Chef, help us whip up something new, let us spoon our tiramasu, full of tears of wisdom and *** of the ethers. If not, its fine. You know I'll survive. You know I'll thrive with my heavy heart, I always do.
I wrote this poem so u can never enjoy your mother's tiramasu without me. Without thinking of me, I'm such a *****. I love your doom and gloom really, so that I can be your sun shining. And if your clouds should still obscure my rays..I'll try again another day (another life) i won't hold spite,  not against you. I hope hope makes you new. Hope for your future with or without. But mostly I hope my love obliterates your pride. I hope you know posting this is terrifying. Almost as awful as losing you in yet another life. I'm burying my pride alive, to suffocate. I dont want to be the one who can't have who I want cuz I'll always find a way to drop what I want to say. No longer about that life. I wrote this a few hours ago and wasn't gonna post it, like the majority of whats written for u, it was set to sink into the Earth without ever being read by its muse, gracing your roots. My bravery is indebted to you. To your words.

Eight long years I fear you have been here
Behind the scenes
Do you ever intend to leave?

Overwhelmed
You’ve eight legs to my pair

Nowadays you spin in clear sight
But it wasn’t always like this
You were once a reluctant plunder

And I confess that I often walked into your web
Wiped the silk from my face
And went about my day without so much as a thought

You are the covert cartographer of minds
Is there an area of mine you haven’t mapped?
In your decade long survey

I never did give you planning permission

**** at me like apres ski, if you please
‘Tis a slippery ***** this road

Those pills the doctor prescribes me
Cool you for a time
Then the next day you are resurgent
electric

I’ve put up with you for too long
You’ll never truly be gone

I’ve told myself once, maybe thrice
How the sticky honey of hindsight will beguile you
The silky doubt that cushions you
And turns you into tiramasu  

The eggs you have laid, having now hatched
Make me their colony
I feel movements inside
Hear voices day and night

They tell me there’s nothing there
Even as your spawn presses against my temporal lobe
And I forget more and more of what the world was before

Sorry if I am a bore
I can barely hold a conversation

I pray to God that one day you’ll relent
Tire of the climate and
Chase after some skirt seeking happier times
But I’m pregnant with your venom
And always will be

But I refrain from aspiration
It’s been eight years to the day
And I see no sign of change  


End

— The End —
