i was thinking about this today.
i could go without so much in life but i will not sacrifice the importance of having love that is so insane and amazing. i’m still looking and won’t quit till i find it.
Man
You will pour my tea
And make my bed
Sing me songs
And finger the strings
Of my old guitar
Take pictures of me
And laugh at my jokes
Burn my toast
Watch my shows
Tell me when I’m wrong
Admit when I’m right
Pen poetry about me
Argue with me about politics
And religion
And your mother
And my mother
Take me to dinner
Tell me that dress looks nice on me
Look me in the eye
Mean what you say
Never be late
Decide that I will be yours
Everlastingly
And never forget
The light flashes
She watches his slight movements
With a watchful eye
A pained, broken heart
Keeps the words on the page
But the emptiness blazes anew
When she sees the faces
Dancing in the concrete snow
One and the other
But she is alone
And she is nowhere
