the thought of leaving you

the thought of leaving you
tiptoes around me
as you sleep
our love away
the fine line of change
the fear of without you
keeps me watching
hoping
to see your eyes flicker
with desire
blank stares
our way to survival
both locked up
bread and water
bars between
silent prisons of regret
ball and chained
to our dreams
yet, the thought
of leaving you
escapes
without
me

One Final Good Bye

with one last wave
through air
too thick to breathe
I blow a kiss
across forgiving meadows
of dandelions
whispering
I love you

one final good bye
pressed between sealed lips
pushed over the edge
of canyons
echoing
as it spirals to the bottom
of an eager ravine

crushing heavy
upon my dreams

shattered

you broke
my last
heart
