I Wrote Our Beginning Now I Write Our End

I carry broken building blocks back across Rivers of molten feelings / this cracked bridge Begs to crumble beneath steps embarrassed To raise their arms in protest / my stance weeps Under the weight of all the tears I’ve never Cried so I stumble towards Nyx / maybe I fall / I Can’t really remember cause then I had an Epiphany / like waking in a cold sweat when My body grasps for your concept isn’t Here: that fractured bemused hummingbird I wrote about in my poem isn’t you and I Didn’t understand it then why my eyes were The ones bleeding clear / I can see now it’s Me I was crying about cause it’s me who’s Crying now without hesitation / I trade gladly Consecutive night sentences with Morpheus So he’d release me from my dreams and I won’t Have to cry anymore over this moment when They leave /our hummingbirds die / butterflies Cocoon back into caterpillars / have I angered the Angels /do my Gods hate me / your lips kiss my Fears farther from away and I know the answer to These questions taste yes / bitter and salty / waves Call to me as I jump off this bridge with no safety Suicide net to catch me / I’ve fallen against this blank Wall you've erected to have me love / but The Fates Come as friends / they whisper in my ear as they Cut our strings away from a love that isn’t mine / no Longer shines my escape is sill half of that dark Path sketched in caramel complexion etched in This hurts yesterday’s reflections / I pray to live all Our memories not just the dreams you want me to Own / or the poems you have me write / there’s no Reciprocation in an empty bed / there’s no reason To say goodbye if we’re already dead to you / no Tomorrow so I’ve fled your elephant’s graveyard With a pen in my hand / I wrote our beginning now I write our End...
