Backwards
It used to be so
you would beg me not to leave.
It used to be, too
I would be heavy weighted
when I knew I had to go.
But now you shrug and nod
"see ya, I love ya"
and now I only remember
the things I used to just forget:
the homework, the cleaning, the daily plod.
Can't we just go back to see
the way it used to be?
Between
The words sat between us
like the sun between Heaven and Earth.
Our future illuminated,
our happiness risen with the morn.
We spoke them once,
we spoke them again.
We spoke them gently,
we spoke them with passion.
"I Love You" sat between us
like the nose between your shimmering eyes
The word sat between us
like the moon between Earth and Hell.
Our futures now obscured,
light enough only to see the loss.
"Goodbye" sat between us
like the sneer between your too taut cheeks
