five days ago
i wrote to you
wishing I’d hear from you
three weeks ago
you wrote to me
but, one word will never do
nine years ago
we scened but once
i fell so hard for you
eight years age-difference
seemed zero
there was naught one could do
in all that time
and all these years
i never wished from you to part
and i will say
this honestly:
i couldn’t muster a fresh start
t'was hardly fair
to you or me -
what rules a lover’s heart?
when memories,
day-terrors shook,
took hold, our minds and lives we thwart
and dismay now
is lasting grief
so little left, have we to show
from years of love
of dreams dreamt well
shoved into corners, urged to grow
this madness left
of why we split
of i insisting that you’d go
was spawned of love
for, split we were
now, negative is all i know
