The Word That Crushed the World
The car steered by
I sighted the lights on the street
The coffee shops and their treats
The cold breezed air
The ideal silence
The connected ideas
The concentrating consideration
The contemplation of all things
The girls and the boys
Enjoying their time
Spending it idly with no goal or dawdle
The people
Their days
The workers
Their ways
The business men dashing to their jobs
The old women pleading for money on the road
The hot day but cool weather
It all descended to that night
So soft, so smooth
I watched from the passenger’s seat
So thoughtfully I spent my time
Thinking, considering, helplessly
The desire, the will, the intention
Of having someone that cares
Of having someone to love
Of having someone to share all you’re valuable times
Of having someone to take care of
Of having someone to sacrifice for
Wishing to have someone to think about you
To admire you in every way
To love you in every style
To have someone that cares
Someone to be the lover
In my time
It all collapsed to one thing
It all fell down to one fact
It all exploded into the word, “forbidden”
I sighed vulnerably
As we arrived home
