Impossible
is everything
all the time
with you.
No middle ground,
just black and white.
Always,
or never.
Wonder why
you’re all inside,
holding your
precious woundings.
I’m alive,
no concubine,
but I’m slowly fading.
Won’t
you
come
save
me?
Mesmerized.
Occupied.
Don’t act like
you didn’t notice.
Time ticks away,
the waves
recede,
and the flowers
break the surface.
Wipe away
the spiders
that weave
your eyes closed.
I’m out here
naked
and alone,
right
where you left me.
Don’t pretend
you
don’t
know.
You were silver,
when they always
wanted
gold.
That’s okay,
I know
you were made
for greater things.
