my Test
Tests come
in so many forms
in a call not placed
or a note not mailed
an email not sent
your heart is not pure
but that's not why i loved you
your soul is not at peace
but that's not why i fought you
you are the worst of us all
and yet also the best we can hope to be
you are my test
you are the questions
and I fill in the answers
multiple choice
true or false
essay
open book
or
group study
I find out so much about myself
perhaps I'm more honest
about my own
dirty heart
and restless soul
and weakness of thoughts
when I'm tested by your heart
sex
lust
lies
complacent depravity
and then through your soul
I see
the strongest and the deepest of emotions
love
patience
forgiveness and acceptance
((of those weak
allibis....))
you are my test
but not my love
just my test,
my friend,
my good cry.
