The Thing We Lost...

As this sob
Escapes
My throat, I
Realize that
Something Valuable
Has gone missing.

The Thing We Lost Was Trust.

It might've disappeared
The day he waved
His flirtatious hello
And I smiled
My blushing, cool-breeze,
Gone with the wind
Goodbye.

The Thing We Lost Was Trust.

Or Maybe
Just Maybe,
It could've been
the day you walked out
The door...
And as i smiled with
My eyes, Our
" DON'T ASK-DON'T TELL "
policy bore a hole
Through my skull
Like a drill to the
Earth's very core.

The Thing We Lost Was Trust.

It has seeped through the
Cracks of my bleeding
Aching heart like
Coveted water
From a split
Rock.

The Thing We Lost Was Trust.

There Was
A time when
Your absences
Were my "END OF DAYS"
And your touch
My guardian Angel.

The Thing We Lost Was Trust.

But Fast
Forward to
The present
And nothing could
Be further from the truth.


The Thing We Lost Was Trust.

Your touch is no
Longer a reassurance...
Your kiss simply
A glimmer of
Bias hope...Your
Presence No longer
Felt.

The Thing We Lost Was Trust.

IF I'M LUCKY ENOUGH YOU'LL STILL
LOVE ME TOMORROW.
