If I could love even a little less
A day less, per say
I may not feel like a dredged riverbank
I would be a bit wiser
Stronger
Alone.
It would be a gift
If my love were not tidal wave
upon wave
Of unsought feelings.
I have brought it toward me
I lye with it at night
When I am there I turn away
If I could love a little less
I could face it head on
For now I will face it
back turned
muscles heavy with the burden of a thousand loves
and losses.
Glad to see you back on the horse and writing again :) It's good for you, and fun for me.
