EPIPHANY
Basked in the Fluorescent haze
Eyes tracking the lines in the floor
Pondering my lovely lonely ways
And how much more I can endure
Silent elegies left on voicemail
Charting a shipwreck yet to be
Please tell me what this will entail
Or hear my ever heartsick plea
Four spoonfuls in and I’m weak
That medicine might not go down.
Too crippled to even try to speak
Too vanquished to accept your crown.
Hoped my scars would heal your heart
Before it’s armor of stone took hold
Baby we both valiantly did our part
But sometimes the wisdom is in the fold
Feels like a curse that something so good
Cuts so harshly and with such glee
Although the outcome is understood
I’m bartering how not to be free
Waking up just to count the days
Till this love won’t leave a hole
Wallowing in the poetry he prays
And ceding every ounce of my control
And then comes the moment I dread
Love whisked away like leaves on the air
And all of the pleas overflowing my head
Have done nothing to help me prepare
Where once my soul pained with need
Now it’s loss that fuels this heart to break
Hours wondering where this will lead
Are to naught as my heart dulls to ache
