fractured

She abandons me tonight
feeling under-appreciated.

I’ll follow her until
she lets me ride her grace
Enslaves my imagination
Fractures me with a phrase
Covers me with dirty little secrets
Scrapes up the language
from my wandering heart and
presses them to the page.

She is the one who
prevents the walls
from tumbling in
Forbids me to walk
the streets alone
when she binds me
with metallic strings
as her wild lovesongs
burns rivers down my veins.
