Poem

We were deafened by ‘forever’
Defined by this love that everyone believed
And hairs rose at the sound of our sighs
We were watched,
Painfully watched
But never received

I longed for a way out of this category
I longed to be free from the labelers
Pounding away at our bodies
Marking us…branding us
Searing in the stamp of love

We can dangle on these emotions forever,
Can’t we?
Should we?
We never have to say goodbye
Because we never started anything!

It only ends where the brand can be seen
So cover your scars and follow me
Into a light you will never be blinded by
Take my hand and don’t ask why

I ask not for your trust
Nor for your love
I ask only for us

These words need not be said
For they are written inside us
And no hot iron can sear it away
Just your words…just your words

We were deafened by ‘forever’
Defined by this love that everyone believed
And hairs rose at the sound of our sighs

I smelled your confusion
And lapped you up in a smile
I tasted the foreign tongues of your past
All over you…wanting you

 I never wanted it to end
But your words were hesitant
And this weakened me so…how it weakened me

Then…
You spat on me
You pressed the hot iron into my back
You branded me useless
Loveless
And everyone gasped

Because love was too low for us
We had mountains of so much more
And the abandonment surpassed my surprise
Of anything worthy of looking into your eye

I can’t look at my scars, darling
Even if I wanted to
They’re behind me
Just as love is
Just as you are
