a poem of mine that is about reciprocated love that cannot be lived out. and as a result, my struggle at treating the beloved merely as a friend.
yes, I know "inquires" isn't a noun - if you can think of a better rhyme with a similar meaning, please say so ọ~ọ
train tracks crushing under us
do not throw me under the bus
egg yoke smashed against the windshield
flushed to the sides by the speed we yield
dozen footsteps, nothing's slowing
doors swing open, wind is blowing
yoke and yoke hit glass and smeer
hearts beat fast in audible fear
>are these tracks full of eggs?<
of silence, we need violence
before more pain and bane
enter our lane, our brain,
fixation followed adoration
a silence that tires, had many inquires,
her answer, no chance here,
we spoke, still could joke,
something broke, sometimes choke
down a ton, love has gone,
out the door, and i swore,
yet can i keep? still got a leap
of faith, a love I crave,
