I Wrote Our Beginning Now I Write Our End

I carry broken building blocks back across
Rivers of molten feelings / this cracked bridge
Begs to crumble beneath steps embarrassed
To raise their arms in protest / my stance weeps
Under the weight of all the tears I’ve never
Cried so I stumble towards Nyx / maybe I fall / I
Can’t really remember cause then I had an 
Epiphany / like waking in a cold sweat when
My body grasps for your concept isn’t 
Here: that fractured bemused hummingbird
I wrote about in my poem isn’t you and I 
Didn’t understand it then why my eyes were
The ones bleeding clear / I can see now it’s 
Me I was crying about cause it’s me who’s
Crying now without hesitation / I trade gladly 
Consecutive night sentences with Morpheus
So he’d release me from my dreams and I won’t
Have to cry anymore over this moment when 
They leave /our hummingbirds die / butterflies
Cocoon back into caterpillars / have I angered the
Angels /do my Gods hate me / your lips kiss my 
Fears farther from away and I know the answer to
These questions taste yes / bitter and salty / waves 
Call to me as I jump off this bridge with no safety 
Suicide net to catch me / I’ve fallen against this blank
Wall you've erected to have me love / but The Fates 
Come as friends / they whisper in my ear as they
Cut our strings away from a love that isn’t mine / no
Longer shines my escape is sill half of that dark 
Path sketched in caramel complexion etched in
This hurts yesterday’s reflections / I pray to live all
Our memories not just the dreams you want me to
Own / or the poems you have me write / there’s no
Reciprocation in an empty bed / there’s no reason
To say goodbye if we’re already dead to you /  no
Tomorrow so I’ve fled your elephant’s graveyard
With a pen in my hand / I wrote our beginning now
I write our End...
