ODE TO LOVE

I didn’t catch what you said

Not because I wasn’t listening

But because I was afar off

And you only speak in soft gentle tones

And I wasn’t listening.

I have written to you,

Written for you

But you have refused to send answers

Your lips sealed in permanent silence

Your fingers stiff from not communicating.

And I hate this silence;

Conducive grounds for moulding

Rotting me from inside out

While I’m left with a restless need to claw myself out of this entrapment;

My body.

I’m curious about what you said

Won’t you tell me again?

Please part silent lips this one last time

Tell me what you see

Breathe your vision to me in words.

I know it’ll bring me to my knees

Bring laughter and tears to my spirit

Catharsis I have awaited since I was born

But you have chosen to deny me this

Why have you chosen to deny me this?

For nothing is sweeter than words from your lips

And I didn’t know what being cherished felt like until you embraced my heart

I didn’t know what joy was until you gave me your name

And I didn’t know what death was until you left

So please let resurrection come

Soon.
