I called to you
Over hills and through valleys
and under rocks and down streams
I chanted your name
on the essence, on the fly
on the wind, on the wings
You heard me
cascading through,like visions do
under skin and over heart strings
you came to me
spell cast eyes
red socked feet
frozen limbs floating on
invisible wire beams
I love you
in the worst way
without your permission or reciprocation
and I need you
like my addiction needs rum
you’re my glorious intoxication
I own you
your chains grow tighter
your sweat is thick soup
you want to run
 but youre banged and bruised
So I let you go
exhausted, in pain, hopeless and strained
confused and insane
        kissing the ground of freedom
        the curse is lifted
no more one sided wishes
no more evil conditions
I got what I wanted
and he looks just like you
just like me too
a little version of the two
He saved me
without coaxing, without begging
without trying, without testing
You walk away
Never planned to stay
I bow out quietly
Knowingly,gracefully
You end where he begins
We are all forgiven for our sins
Out of darkness light transcends
And I know its true
In him, I get to be loved back by you
1b
