Evacuees
"EVACUEES."
when I woke up
that morning,
I knew you
weren't next to
me.
I could've
climbed the
tallest
of buildings
and screamed
it.
why couldn't
you understand
what you needed
to do?
I suppose in
the end,
you knew but
didn't want to.
I watch the
woods get
darker
and the animals
pause in
confusion.
If you could've
ever really
known just how
much I loved
you,
you wouldn't
have been so
afraid.
so many things
I want to tell
you
but I know you
could never
bring yourself
to submit to
love.
if you only
knew lover,
if you only
knew.
now we sit,
switches
turned,
like the
stopping of the
air raid siren
silenced.
