sequoia

Adam Shirley

Collide with me in the sunset sea

As you drape your arms around me

Rekindled hearts and forgotten parts

Our feelings set before thee.

 

Shelved memories and amputated scars

Hitting my head on the roof of your car

Is the only pain I did not foresee.

 

Regrets of pain I can consent

Regrets of tears in which I cannot repent.

But to not regret is that I did not forget

The serenity that you brought in me.

 

I cannot bid my part

Though you have bludgeoned my heart

And numbed every single body part.

 

You have broken the trust 

Due to your trauma with lust

But to blame will not ever occur.

 

And although you have left the pot to boil

And have feared to plant seeds in the soil

I hold faith that is is fixable turmoil.

 

To thank you is infinite

To love you is definite

But if you are gone

With a bullet in my chest

I will cough up my blood

And wish you the best.
