For the last time

I would wait

I would walk

I would run

and steal

I’d lie through my teeth

 

I would give you all the chances in the world

I would kiss you,

though I know you don’t want me to

I would read you my poems

and listen to each of your songs

 

If you were a church

I would pretend to be Christian

If you were a train

I would board without asking

where it was going

I wouldn’t get off until the end

 

You made me believe—

Haunted as I am by the hope you gave me—

that my heart hadn’t lost its key

 

But you’re not a church,

you’ll never be a train

I have to close your door in my brain
