Can't Have You

Can't Have You

I can't I won't I haven't
erased you.
A line of steadfast tears
Follow you  single file
My pain has been inked into
Pages and pages of poetry.

I lose the weight of my grief
By losing control
By losing my temper
I speak my mind
Not my heart
When I rant but I have reached
The ends of my patience
In truth
Patience isn't my virtue
But good faith.

O dear god it runs to the ends of the earth and
Still sees you in the sunset
And the stars are throwing you a party upstairs...
The Angels are singing hosannas
And a poor grief stricken...
What more shall I say?

I cannot even run away from meeting my love.
love  writes itself into
Me.
