all this time its been you I need
you waited here patiently
as I chased distant lovers
as I climbed infinite mountains
as I walked unending hallways

even when I fell into the bottomless black hole

you waited here
patiently

and now you're right here in front of me
if only my eyes had opened sooner

I pledge a deathless oath to love you
but you turn your head away
eyes burning with tears, cheeks hot and red
it's too late, I realize, you're done waiting
you've moved on

but know this
I will wait here, patiently
as you chase distant lovers
as you climb infinite mountains
as you walk endless hallways
and I will scoop you back up
place you on your feet
and let you try it again
The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway, is that its you, and that you're standing in the doorway.

I write down good reasons to freeze to death in my spiral ring notebook. But in the long tresses of your hair--I am a babbling brook.

    it's either an ode to a faithful,loyal pet or it is a declaration of true and unconditional love.

    either way.......................I LOVE IT.
