we stay

Parent message is 221410
morning serenity
washes away
the thoughts
i thought
i’d be feeling
today
i speak of
lusted passions
that run deeper
than I know
how to say
not making it
work out
doesn’t mean
we go away
it remains
this honeysuckle
milk dripping
love
it saps
our strength
shakes the bones
free from joints
and still
and always
we stay
