Morning settles while the sun is rising

and the moon is always visible

-part 2

And I know love wanes

And I know

deeper than you and I

And we know

Pt.3

You’re so much more.

I want to thank you

for guiding my way

Pt. D

Love comes back

and it sips the life from us

only to give it back

in greater capacity

Part: IV

Taking to give

and giving to take

Part. 4

And I seek no conversation with the moon.

It has made me broken.

And…

I no longer anticipate the sun’s embrace.

It has fallen from the sky.

Part 5.

And there is no light

because there is no darkness.

Part 6.

A real love

A love that doesn’t bite

A love that doesn’t sting

A love that doesn’t send me flying

A love that keeps me in my place

A love so enduring

A love of compromise

A love with no shame

no guilt

A love that feels like love

A love pressed together

on the rooftop

chest to chest

Waist to waist

Toes touching

Neck and neck

A love that just knows

A love

A love

A love

A love that is real

Part. 7

And a heart is not love

No body

No breath

No mind

No material

And yes

forever coming and going

but I have to end this here

in refusal

but we know

it needs to happen
