With Much Knowledge Comes Much Sorrow

Before I ask
I know what the
answer will be
and yet again I
will not be first
among your priorities
You pencil me in
so that I can be easily deferred
moved out to the future
though all along you
are chiseled in stone
I am so afraid that
one day I'll wake up
turned into that stone
unable to be rolled away
from a love entombed
