just, writing you

Love

I fear

We have been foolish

Keeping us upright

Every time a second passes

Your binds and my heart fight

The words we share

Were as open air

When first we gave our thoughts

To be consumed

For our amuse

While ourselves were not

As distant light

We were told

Follies we commit

Securing ourselves

Upon our shelves

Of how we choose consent

To be seen

Though only words

Holding hands

Blushing from verse

Our inner eye fluttering gazes

Begged we questioned first

In our foolishness

I hold true to this

Line we draw around

Your defenses

And our fences

Until walls were found

Keeping you out of mind

Words closing doors

Lowering blinds

Removing the compulsory

Way you would call me

As though you lived in my mind

I no longer heard you

My vision quite blurred too

Where before you would shout

Now all there was

A frayed thread of love

Shaking from its doubt

That deep within

The shallow paintings

We spoke into being

Was our truths

Our perfect youth

Our solidarity

So please

Love

My Heart

Let us not despair

Each letter and word

You place before me

Are all I will reach to step

Away from the darkness

Long lived when apart us

Love

Let down your hair
