I have waited my entirety for you.
You that unraveled every fiber of my
essentiality then,
Stitched me back together again with
your ever essence, those delicate hands
working me altogether.
Life upon Life -
Faultless. Irredeemable. Unbroken.
Oh! How I wished!
Your words bewitched me, enthralled me!
And me, following your utterances
with slavish devotion, like a lapdog
licking at your heels hungry for your heedfulness.
Those utterances!
Have you not considered? - that I have
considered you.
Foolish. Frail. Faded.
Oh! How I wished!
I felt compelled to want that which I
could not have, and to understand that
which I could not know.
But compulsions are ephemeral -
wants are not needs just as understanding
is not knowing.
The truth is - I needed to know.
Deluded. Dreaming. Dejected.
Oh! How I wished!
Yet, here I am facing the realness of
that confrontation,
Wondering what a world without you
would manifest -
the stars have lost their sparkle;
the moon lacks lustre;
the nights lonelier, without purpose.
Now I know.
Have you not considered? -
(Oh! How I wish!)
