Is the open book that is my heart
So difficult to read that you,
Finding not the answers there
That you seek, tear at the pages,
Rip them up in your frustration,
And toss the pieces so that
They fall like bloody snowflakes
To bathe the ground beneath
Your parting feet?
Is the language that my heart speaks
So opposed to that which you know,
That you draw the dagger of your wit
And plunge it hilt-deep with both your hands
And press the full weight of your mind
Upon the handle such that it, and you,
In turn push through and cleave
My heart in two?
I fear this folly not
For I know my heart through and through,
And have before gathered all the
Broken and bloodied and scattered pieces.
Placing each piece back into its place.
I will wait for you.
I will wait for you to learn the
language that my heart sings,
To learn it so well that we may sing
Of our love together, a perfect duet,
That will echo through the heavens
Until the end of time.
