you can only do so much
can only live for someone else too long
before your muscles get weak
and you're not as strong
as you used to be, maybe four years ago
this is the part where the percussion slams in
to keep the timing in check, just so you know
i woke up in the morning,
alone, and so afraid
not knowing how to go on with all of this
couldn't figure out just how i'm supposed to behave
having you torn away so quickly
after such a sudden arrival
we could have been hearing wedding bells
but now your gown's not bridal,
and in its place sits a cloud of broken thoughts
surrounded by a moat of
flaming materials, incense and pot
trite and true confessions, convictions overturned
trichromatic colors, documents, and
thirty-five illegitimate knee rug burns
later, possibly, i'll think of a better way
"i thought that you had come to expect more."
words recreating, so frustrating, like they say.

I always read yours. I just don't always have something to say. Maybe I should just post a '.' to let you know (and others) that it's been read through and through?
