i met the pain with a pondering
it fell into my lap
like a small child.
i was full of something worth mentioning
like my hand in yours
but this day was abrupt and sad.
water falling thru me
all the sunshine
just juxtaposed my dull ache and loss.
i could have held my nothingness with a charm
that spoke more truth than the lost
children who smile without knowing their mothers
but i fell so much today
that my knees have torn to the bone.
could i take a day
and make you mine
and make these tears worth all the hours i have eaten.
i need you to come over and hold me
i cannot do what i promised
i cannot be the strongest
i am falling into your eyes.
i never want to get up, from the bottom of you
hold me like a key
don’t ever give me up.
to be so wrapped in your brokenness and disease
to know you hurt just like me
to pale and burn
to bleed the same blood and weep the same tears.
all the dormant senses
that have come alive
in your reflections, of love, i want to be held by yr eyes and never be abandoned...
i want to hold you steadfast....
just leave all your pain behind, i will do the same…
try just to make it seven more days
seven more days
you and me
will we make a day out of 20
we will make 20 days turn into infinity
you and me
so perfectly.
