Loves Invisible Thread
It is in the
aftermath that the
worst occurs
The devastation in
the knowing
That we are nearly
parting
The silence after
being
US
The laying there
saying nothing
Listening to us
breathing
Just waiting
just watching the
clock ticking
Willing it to slow
This is the last
time I say
I need to make it
work
The still after the
storm
We rushed at first
Dismissing my rings
Impatient with each
other
Needing the feel of
us in each others
skin
In each others bones
Tangled with our
limbs
This is the last
time I say
I need to make it
work
Above the bed words
are suspended in air
All things unsaid
between us
Just out of reach
to high too grasp
The sweet somethings
That are agony to
say
As it would be
admitting
That we are
something
Something we weren't
expecting
So we say nothing
Lay there waiting
But we could be
everything
As we are perfection
Earth shattering
heaven like
Almost
Shuddering against
one another
Trying to catch our
breath
As though we are the
only ones in this
world living
Existing only for
this
So we are watching
My wedding rings
shining
Waiting for the
inevitable
The me
leaving you
I unwillingly
walking away
The magnetic pull
struggling against
me
Like a net around my
body
Pulling me back to
you
My insides in agony
Our invisible thread
near snapping
Stretching as far as
possible
This is the last
time I say
I need to make it
work
Over my shoulder
your staring
With knowledge in
your eyes
A slight curl of
your lips
As you know it's all
lies
I'll be back again
Or we surely won't
survive
