But the numbers didn’t stack up.
I forced you to be honest,
And now my heart is broken.

When tension starts to rise,
My eyes are focused outwards,
While my inner child cries.

Damn you for making me believe in you then leaving me

“If you and I just went away?”

That day,
When you broke down,
I cradled you in my arms,
Astonished by your pain.

It ain’t right that I cannot
voice my thoughts,
But I’m afraid, you’ll say,

I lie with you beneath this willow tree;
Whose iridescent branches hide us here,
And listen to the shrieks of surfers, free,
Unfettered by the burdens that we bear.
This gift of time allows my thoughts to ease.

Like faded memories,
Shaking off the past,
To reveal their naked truth;
Then waiting, in wintry silence,
To be reborn.
