Every. single. one. of. them.
Thought I’d never leave.
Every. single. one. of. them.
Have regretted the day I left.
Every. single. one. of. them.
Took advantage of my kind love.
Every. single. one. of. them.
Treated me like I was replaceable.
Every. single. one. of. them.
Tried desperately to win me back.
Every. single. one. of. them.
Desired me, admired me, loved me.
Every. single. one. of. them.
Couldn’t love me all the way through.
Are. you. one. of. them. too?

Affection
Your affection astonishingly
and synonymously feels like
you’re hearing and seeing me
protecting and supporting me
studying and teaching me
feeding and savoring me
unveiling and covering me
feeling and loving me then
drinking and watering me.
Blueprint
I promise not to smother you
with the kind of love I desire.
I’ll give only the love you require.
The same love outlined within the
blueprint to your soul.
So teach me just how to love you.
Surrender
When you finally take the time
to see outside of yourself
within those rare fleeting moments
I am screaming on the inside to be heard
That is your greatest opportunity
to grab hold and watch me surrender.
This
This is what our love
looks like at times lamentably.
Laying under the same blanket
yet still so far apart.
Silence deafening the room
as we both commit to pride.
Instead of making the first move
towards reconciliation.
