last night you looked at me your hazel eyes more green than brown so sadly beseeching and you asked me why you couldn't go back to six months ago before the pain began and I could not tell you that I am as tired of your pain as you are I want you whole again your tears and fears kill me more than I can stand to be killed oh my sweet man how I wish I could heal you with my hands be your shaman take your pain into myself give you relief so that you could be the strong one for I am weak how I wish that I were the rock you crave I would save you if I could be better and bolder than the heroes in the comics you collect never before have I wanted to be more than I want to be for you more of a woman more of a friend more of a harbor more of a garden for your sunlit smile warms me still I feel all the same emotions magnified I'm your bride already making your lunch at four o'clock in the morning coming home from work to your kisses and caresses watching television with you when all I really want is peace and quiet and maybe some art my heart breaks for you one splinter at a time how I wish the bleeding would end. |
