He Is My Refuge

He asked me, “So what are you into now?” While I was already envisioning scripts to piece Inside my head, With the silence in between his lips Sketched like woven thread My oh my, how he had no idea That clairvoyance is my best friend I saw right through him Just how abstract light can transcend Don’t just stand there and give me those Desolate coffee coated eyes, Please ask me a different question So I can discard my next tragic demise Because when you left me, You suddenly took the words right out of my mouth Leaving me with what I felt, Words that I couldn’t articulate out loud A devil in disguise, why didn’t you just walk away My heart galloping a mile, crisis awaits Better yet, maybe it’s best if you did stay Take another sip out of the witches brew Cradling your palm against the mug, Yielding me with inflicted wounds I recall a time we used to madly be in love Cosmos that danced underneath our skin, Synapses of replayed memories levitating above Not one love is ever the same, Unfamiliar faces pass and expired vows Whispering directly in his ear, “I enjoy poetry now.”

Wow, that was really cool. Kind of abstract and free flowing. I liked this a lot. The story line was great and kept me engaged. The closing was perfect.
