I so want to be angry
I have written
And deleted
So much that my heart
Bitter and wicked
Wanted to say
But I canβt
I canβt
I never can
Be angry
At a heart that only
Spoke the truth
Though I loved
And how I loved
This bitter sweet
Reverie
Does no good
To you or me
What was
And can never be
Should maybe remain
In our logs and history
While my heart
Still cries
And dies for yours
For a touch
A word
A scintillating untoward
Turn of phrase
Before my eyes
I understand
I do
Neither will chase
Neither will win
Both will lose
And while I
Still love and hate
To see your face
Running through my mind
Each night
I so hold close
Your thoughts
Your soul
And always remember
That once you were
The epic conflagration
And my every
Invocation
Of love and lust
And all good things
That turn to dust
Beast, monster, devil
I always wish you well
And your precious soul
Will travel
In my mind
In my heart
Till death himself
Stamps out my my embers
For in my flame
I will always remember
Yours
