I Can't Let Go

[sorrowbird87]

Oh how I hear the pattern of steps
like the softness in our tears.

I am not ready to just walk away
from another empty day
but my promises are like adhesive
binding my heart to yours.
I've never been good enough
for my words
that linger in and out of consciousness,
although they are all
that I will ever had.

Please tell me that's there no reason
to be afraid of myself
when I pick pick up our shattered mirrors.
The truth is so unexpected;
it's telling me to look outside
in another minute you will be home.
The wreckage of our heart
is enough to leave my disaster
and search for your warm body.
What have I done?
God, why have we become one?

I wrote you letter today
only to burn it inside of my kitchen sink.
Useless,
so utterly incapacitated,
where did sleep last night?
I think that I have found my way
back through the blissful trails,
but I'll only meet you halfway.
I'm done
with crying over myself.
