Today inspired me To stop over-thinking. For too long I spun in a whirlwind, living Half in and half out Of any number of endeavors-- But I never committed, Save once. There was another, though, Another time, another place, Another person that I used to be (But I wonder, am I so different now?). It was easier then, when I could imagine Beyond the possibility that you loved me, That you were capable of taking Everything offered, given, far beyond Words. But waters were tried, and then abandoned, But moist emotions remained, existing to remind you and I That we were only wanting. Skin against skin-- It was not, could not be, reality, It was another thing that would not persevere. And today... Today was one more vision, a sudden Snapshot of resistance, the little footprints Of self-combusting longings, unanswered Dream that beg and scream-- "Truth or dare?" But now is the time where I stop thinking, Stop leaning on the past, and the lips Of the men I have known, And that claim to have known me. |
