I have been feeling this way for too long now
words have not been spoken
don't really need to be
really couldn't have
you know how I feel
I know how you feel
see it in the steel of your eyes
the way they engulf me
my
presence
my
whole entire essence with those soft brown
portals
windows into your soul
breaking into pieces
whenever life divides our time
and that is what it is our time
to live
breathe
sweat
communicate
make love
argue
go on vacation
watch movies
play
make love
.......did I say make love?
raise kids
go to graduation
go to graduation
go to graduation
go to graduation
go to graduation
go to graduation
go to graduation
.......did I say seven kids?
go to weddings
go to church
and die
with one another
but our lives
have offered another time
to exist
our
mental tryst can go no further
me with her
and you with that brother
a cool brother at that too
cleans the house
disciplines the kids
massages
extra special care
once every year
but when he's rubbing
that back
don't you want to tell him that
I want that old thing back
when Anwar used to do that
thing where he slung me back
and made love to me and told me that
If he ever had a chance he would break
that back
huh
nah
yes
cus
I
see it in the steel of your eyes
the way they engulf me
my
presence
my
whole entire essence with those soft brown
portals
windows into your soul
breaking into pieces
whenever life divides our time
