When Love Outlives Us~
How very complicated
loneliness gets
when standing perfectly still
Breathing only memories
of days far beyond
the yesterdays
When oxygen becomes selfish
your lungs resisting all efforts
to relinquish
How complicated love gets
When your heart bleeds
with each reminder
Having the capacity
to love eternal
But the curse of each drop
ephemeral
Still
the battle rages on
Your soul fearing death
My heart knowing
it will not be long
We died
and no one to mourn our passing
Even the Gods
were caught sleeping
I know this because
when asked whose name
next graces the list of those passing
St Peter responded
Who’s asking
And when even Gods
shed no tears
one would be excused
for wondering
What the fuck
have I been doing here
Scrub the mission
Shelve the fear
Ours
is a journey hell has long abandoned
And clearly for us
heaven was never there
For better or worse
Might as well be dying of thirst
while standing in this forsaken well
For better or worse
Torn pages from a biblical time
when we were both
lovers of a time
when love made us blind
