I'm so afraid.
|
||
|
|
I'm afraid
|
||
|
|
that I'm tying everything I am to you,
|
||
|
|
and one day you'll leave me,
|
||
|
|
and it'll rip me apart
|
||
|
|
like a misplaced amniotic band
|
||
|
|
rips apart a fetus.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The birds sing bittersweet melody
|
||
|
|
in their perches in the trees
|
||
|
|
segregating every cabin.
|
||
|
|
I close my eyes
|
||
|
|
and I'm in the Town again,
|
||
|
|
healing from Parthena's rage,
|
||
|
|
wondering where Eris' godsend
|
||
|
|
went,
|
||
|
|
and you, despondent
|
||
|
|
in your tiny house, self-tranquilized,
|
||
|
|
hoping eventually I'll take a hint.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Though these roses in the chill blush harder,
|
||
|
|
a shred of human form!
|
||
|
|
guided by defying the golden
|
||
|
|
that tries
|
||
|
|
to sear
|
||
|
|
my eyes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But in this body I cannot fly,
|
||
|
|
cannot breathe,
|
||
|
|
cannot perceive
|
||
|
|
with open eyes
|
||
|
|
your presence at my side.
|
||
|
|
Choking on cotton tree dust,
|
||
|
|
splintered wood from dog freakout,
|
||
|
|
campfire smoke,
|
||
|
|
rotted grout.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I don't know how long
|
||
|
|
we can go on
|
||
|
|
like this.
|
||
|
|
Months without your kiss,
|
||
|
|
weeks without your touch,
|
||
|
|
eternities where I convince myself
|
||
|
|
I've somehow lost your love.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Oh, heaven above,
|
||
|
|
if you have any mercy,
|
||
|
|
send me an angel.
