love,
broken but
hearty hoping
for fill
*
i am not devastated
for i feel as though
i can still grab your hand
though the lack of it feeling i
has led to devastation of
what i am not
*
how is it that that which gave
the world warmth
doesn’t burn it all down
when it goes gone
*
the only love
you will need
is the love of
needing only you
*
here listening to him
harrumph longingly about
his love for me
i cannot help but think how
stupid he sounds and how trite
and how clichéd and over the top this
whole thing is when there are bigger things
than the two of us fumbling around like the kitchen
which needs a cleanup or the city which needs one too
or the universe which probably suffers the same mess
of spilling too much in too little
him
go on goon
spread more thoughts of childhood and running
and breathless now with the afterword of silence and blank pages
found on my face where i say okay
and he says
is that all
and i say it is
and he says
how lovely it is
to have it all
