denial

what can i do but hope -
hope you haven’t lied 

see, i am still in denial 
although your silence 
is leaving me 
with plenty of answers 

i can not believe that he would 
break my heart this way 
this is not what i had ever imagined 

no, i refuse to believe it 
in fact, i am certain - 
he will call 

for what purpose 
i am afraid 
to allow myself to contemplate 

what we have -
he wants to 
                  throw away?

he wants to remain the same person
retain his old life
and be done with me?

i will not permit 
my thoughts to wallow 
on that prediction 
not until he communicates 
then we will see.

one day

i don’t want to craft a poem
i don’t need the feeling of missing you evident 
i want there to be no poetry 
because i am happy 
and spending 
all of my free time with you 

and as you say -
one day.

can you not see

i can confirm 
distance does not 
make the heart any fonder 

the separation feels severed 
connection in danger 

cruel and unnecessary 
can you not see

i would understand it 
if 
you said 
you hadn’t ever 
had feelings for me.

pick me up and put me down

for all you say –
can it be wrapped up
and thrown away 
like a shop bought lunch?/

do you mean every word that you speak?/

why do i ask for so much 
because i do not receive nearly enough?/

maybe/

do you have the same shock –
that punch to your guts/

when you watch me
coming along the path/ 

are you proud 
to say that
you know who i am/ 

or are you simply in a rush 
pick me up and put me down 
kiss goodbye 
and return for 
a round of pretend/

the future mapped out in front of us 
pins and fingers
plotting the route/

talk of the past – 
live for the future 
dreaming through the present.

grounded

these days 
what can i 
reward you with 
i am becoming too large 
for this house 
thighs squeezed against the walls –
shoulder leaning like a tipped teapot from a window 

i am able to regress here 
watch the grass grow brighter 
the light washing over the garden in a colossal wave 

comfort, in clinking glasses 
drinks and albums 
moving pieces on a wooden board 

i want back that summer 
where we didn’t expect anything of each other 

we’re fighting now
and not for each other –
for time?
