Misled
I can only hold so much
In my hand
I could only hold
Onto yours;
We could barely stand.
Nighttime
Downtown
I pulled you into
Bright buildings--
Slipping
You were laughing at
The smile I spilled out.
People’s empty words,
Your neck on my mouth.
I can only hold so much
In my head.
How many
Days until
You will see me again?
Until you
Crawl back into the
Dream I misled?
The wound I scooped out?
The flowers I brought down?
Today is hell
I catch you from across the room
All I want is you in my bed;
All I want is for the flowers to bloom.
If ever I’ve felt anything,
It was hurt
And I can only hold so much.
So many
Words you no longer want;
The mouth you
Gave me like a wound.
I wanted to hold on;
Wanted it to be you.
