Part III. (in vain.)

Part II. (fated.)

it is called serendipity

but it reads like fate

written in every language 

for every timeline

that belongs to us

& it pulls at us

from every direction

in one direction 

hanging in the air

heavy like the words

you never did say

fated.

(but when fated this way

you never have a say

 anyway.)

Black hole.

There are times that my thoughts of you are so loud I cannot hear I cannot see what is in front of me, except your absence With compounded irony, your astounding silence While loud, loud memories Painstaking, lucid dreams invade me Oh, of all the things that you said to me, awoke in me Nothing could prepare me for this, my friend Your silence, keeping me up at night You are so loud, still And I feel where you once were, my friend The black hole in my universe, uncanny gravitational pull And I am collapsing, my friend Under the weight of it all Drowning in the loss of you And everything you left behind Right where you found it Promise and hope and cognitive distortion, confusion Here, with me, in my space Leaving me open, and defenseless Because I cannot see what is in front of me Still blinded by your absence And I cannot hear what is around me Except your loud, reverberating silence Oh, the irony, my friend.

Echo. (Tell me)

Tell me your secret How you ignore your heart Yearning for me Breaking Don't the cracks echo through your day? Tell me of the sound How your heart still pounds a bit loud Thinking of me Loving Does it mean something that time hasn’t cured you? Tell me of your tricks How you've conjured up forces of distraction Remembering me Missing Do you find yourself comparing your women to me? Tell me what you say How you convince them you are ready Blocking me Unsuccessfully Do you think it’s fair to make them fall in love, when your soul belongs to me? Tell me.
