1002

Does it matter what I say?

Does it matter that it’s different?


Have weighed and waited,

For spells and years

Until it’s become second nature

To stall.


Nothing’s so simple

It hurts like a burnt blunt sickle

Cuts and slices, in all the hidden corners


I have never known love like yours,

Don’t think I ever will

Still there’s a heart to spill,

With no penance or prompt


I’m sorry it hurts

I’m sorry I’m the one who is hurting

I wish loving was enough

I wish being loved was enough


Still, if someone had said love doesn’t solve all, I wouldn’t have believed it.

Of all the things that cloud, darkest have been the closed eyes.
