Horizons
Use me and I'll abuse you.
A stepping stone to a better view.
Let's bring future into focus.
My horizon chaser, I'd follow you
to untouchable finish lines.
The other side of sunrise.
No matter what direction
I'll collide with you.
Abuse me and I'll use you.
When people ask how I got that scar
I'll truthfully say, I earned it honestly.
A birthmark placed there
before kings had kingdoms
when I was yours and you were mine
lifting each other up till
fate's intervention.
Staying down until horizons
are behind us, until our greatest
accomplishments are achieved.
Battered spouse syndrome
without the emotional deriding
or blackened eye.
Why do I stay?
Must be the magnetism,
the places she takes me
or the way light tends to
bend her way.
