the long sunset
I want you to love
Me.
I want you to drip
Desire.
Look in my eyes and be
Lost.
Where did you
Go?
Why is it you
Find
You no longer love
Me?
When we said
Forever,
I thought we’d always be
Great;
Least expected was
Resentment.
“No, no, no,” said
She.
“The hills rise
Up,
So they must fall
Down.”
“You are my
Sunshine,
But you are also my
Rain—
The light to my
Dark.
You misunderstand how
Lost
I am without
You.
I’m sorry I make it so
Hard.
Lost minds of great
Treasure,
Are we both today,
Forever.
Never forget I am always
Yours.”
So patience is my
Key.
I will wait until the sun
Burns
From the
Sky
And nothing is
Left
But the heat
Death
Of the universe—
And my
Love
For
You.
We had a big argument. I am learning in my old age that the best way forward in these situations is to redirect the energy into the art. Fighting back only adds fuel to the fire. I wish I could have understood this at 12.
