Dating : A Love Poem

There is a piece of my soul with you

and of yours a home in mine.

And so I shatter mine,

and break apart

over and over

and repurpose the rubble

for a highway,

that I build each morning

and each night

listening to the song of your voice,

that will bring me back to you.

because I know you held on.

And if it dropped from your grip,

let my sadness

of knowing that was all I could give,

bring our eyes to meet,

one final moment,

for an instant is all I need,

so that I can at least return

what will make you whole.
