Veins addicted to perfumes-air-swimming smells
that Slash through the air, blades irony;
breaking the pavement into a snake’s tongue,
rendering me confused, divided into two.
I run in opposite directions, trying to locate
north on my broken compass.
Desiring unaccepted closeness in ashes arms as
dusty rain falls your way, shadowing my heart;
my mind’s strings pull me left, the way home.
I leave the way right; you burning alone.
I hove around the crossroad’s spot trying all
along to abandon my unnecessary longing to
be buried in your eyes; your ever green burning
the pieces of my life; I detest you.
Your silence is still pressing on my eardrums;
the silence you failed to break until all my tears
dried out in the sun.
Then you crawl here, head bowed deep… in my hands,
with eyes dripping regret into empty palms.
It’s time I whisper back your silence… & shatter
your eardrums by the words you failed to utter
when my eyes begged them slowly from your tongue:
“I promised to be there & that's where I shall always be”
