Taking Space

I can breathe again
Out from under the weight
Your heavy head
Never ending stream of apologies

You keep me trapped in a cage
Frantically rattling
In my own head
Grasping for answers
Building rationalizations
Searching for words
Over-explain enough to
Fix my feeling inadequate

I can flow now
Pouring energy into myself
Live at a distance
My arm's length protection

It would  be a lie
Denying this ache
How I long for closeness
You destroy every cell in me
I must choose flight
Leave my dense heart grounded
Aloft on hasty wings
Relishing impulse and freedom

Parched

 My love your love Acid Rain Pouring down on me I raised my face Drink it in Burning My eyes my throat So parched Thirsty for any Drop
