Poem Title:
Poem
I told my head a fairy tale to keep my heart in tact it kept me warm for many nights reflections when looking back the images are hazy the faces not as clear the music not as sweet now as it slowly disappears I two-step away from you your hand drops from my hip the kiss you left is bittersweet no longer on my lips when I close my eyes you're no longer in my dreams you may be getting closer but that's not the way it seems that last time we shared some wine used tiles to spell it out the valley of the sun awaits where three is just a crowd you run to the mountains to let your heart roam free I cross the border to Mexico to give my soul relief my love couldn't move ranges that have stood for years saguaro don't hold answers for all of your deepest fears you can love without me I found that I can do the same all those feelings get buried but it's a shallow grave I stretch out on sheets at night holding your pillow that is cold realizing I would never fit the you I've come to know fingers numb that light the fuse on lessons we don't learn wax drips down the side of hope on a candle now twice burned
