A Plea
< We’re here. Who thought we ever would be? Not me.
I cover my heart with layers and layers but it still shows through.
Only you see as I stand here all the plans I held at hand are failing me. I’m losing you.
Come closer. Remember when you said we were inevitable?
You, your physicality beautiful, soul so lyrical. What did I do?
Sorry, forgive that question marked with deception, I’m through deceiving you.
Honesty comes easy. The blame it lays with me. Shame I feel fully.
Could we go back to that time when the shine of the sun came daily, maybe?
Why must we complicate the easy things? Destroy all simplicity brings,
Harden the path ahead with stupid acts of regret, each one a step back
Or forward towards pain again.
I state my fate lays in your hands. I know that’s selfish, but what else can I do?
My wonderful beautiful friend, my all-consuming love, in us, around us.
Please trust.
But I can see you are tired. It’s late. Our fate I leave with you. I love you. >
