how do I unlock your permanent affections?
I fear the drastic change
will mar the view you have of me.
(please tell me what you see when you look my way - for the image is warped in my reflection)
I needed change!
I needed some way
any way
to fill the hole you consistently
dig into me those days your presence
is not shining in my vicinity
each day, each lapse in our meetings
burying me
deeper, deeper, deeper!
into the crumbling earth.
the risk of you tossing
me aside for a new toy
is akin to you crucifying me,
hammering the
last nail.
