Wait he says,
Wait for me
To make
All your desires come true.
But I am breaking
Under the pressure of time
Cracking beneath the weight
Of responsibilities
His hopes can’t solve.
Wait, he says
And I’m crying into
The earnest love of his eyes
As my future becomes dust and ashes
In all the impossibles
We tip toe around
Every day.
Wait, he growls into my ear,
Stop, hold for me.
Don’t come. Don’t you dare.
As I clench and whimper
On the sharp edge
Of his promises.
