you say

you say,
all of this
as if it were
the same thing I was thinking
i say
you are wrong
it wont be long
until you see that too
how many breaths
must i lose
before you choose
truth over fiction
belief or leaving
i will
feed you meals of faith
three times a day
and even more
whatever it takes
i would rather break
me than you
neither if i had to choose
the rules
are ridiculed
pulled from gardens
with rotten dirt
you say all this
with so much certainty
as if you were sure of it
nothing could swerve your mind
but my might
is fire
full of promise
i will pour into you
honest to god
i am done with rolling the dice
you cannot look
into my eyes
without dropping your hands to the side
too angry to even ask why
i wont even ask why
but i know
in the back of your mind
there is that flower
the one we both watered
the one night in autumn
when it was all about us
you say
all these things
but i do not care
the air is only ours
we don't have to share
so i breathe it all in
little by little
this could all be so simple
but even the sun sets
and the darkness extends
into our hearts
we either grow
together
or apart
