The Belt of Sorrows
As I add another notch,
Into my belt of failures.
I did not gain the joy of my heart.
And if I had gained,
Your honest…true love.
I wouldn’t contemplate
Using that very belt
As a makeshift tourniquet,
Around my pleasant dreams.
Choking the flow of my tomorrows,
To ease the bleak pain,
…of not being with you.
