Description
Your voiceis the one my heart wants --
all it wants,
craves,
cries out for
and hope is a terrible thing,
a carrot-cake come-on
tied to a stick
and always, always
just
out
of
reach.
But the smell dances,
teases,
breathing off the back of your neck,
calling me home --
the streetlights are on and it's time
to come in
where it's safe...
But you're not safe, you never were
you're tears and broken hearts and
I'm
not
good
enough
or enough at all
not then
not now.
And none of that changes
your voice
or what my heartsoulbody
needs --
or the lies hope whispers
or the way I believe
in them
in you
in us
still
always.
