Yesterday I watched the earth roll up the sky, clouds and all, like a blanket
Gazed on as dirt ate water and air, gobbled the mess up like spun candy, no more than whirling sweet tufts disappearing into thick mud
I wondered what it wrought.
You told me when we met
You told me
And I believed you then
And I felt the same,
Having been worn away so painfully small
So when you opened me up
And everything in me burst open with new life
And craved new life with you
I was uncomprehending when you stepped off the path we’d forged onto one I never noticed you’d been clearing
And you told me
And my heart closed my ears
And so I set about loving you as hard as my bruised heart felt,
Fervently, frantically, desperately
You’d have no choice but to burst with me
But you told me
And you told me six years ago
And you told me a year ago
And you told me six months ago
And you told me yesterday
And I finally Hear You.
And I’m
Sorry
I
Couldn’t
Hear
Your
Silence
For
What
It
Was
You will never say the Words I Need to Hear
because you’ve said them already
just not to me
i
will
never
be
enough
