don't wait for me
because I am off doing my own thing babe
when you least expect it
creeping along down a path alone
the crunch of the leaves the
disrupt of the breeze
will lead your hands
to my heart
and I will cry out
for you to be gone
and then we'll realize
that it's time to sit right here
and stay a while
maybe your fingerprints
align the curves of my shattered places
bonding together that which was never missing
but nearly broken
the fragility of each drop
of my humanity
is especially fragrant
in what could possibly be the middle of my life
maybe other people do hold a place dear
worth the pain of knowing
how much we all fail to be
what we wish we had
swallow me whole
and see how I come out the other side
hopefully for the better
