don’t say another word
it isn’t time to be that honest
give me enough reason to continue right now
every part of my body is screaming to run yet
staying is my only option again in this
temperamental period of life
instinct creeps in around the edges of my thoughts
needing to let me know how painful all this is
gripping the connected meeting of life and love
burning a hole in my awareness and memory
letting me get a moment
awake and still dreaming
making up my mind
each day is now mine to waste with you
