stories he tells

lost touch with the feel of your intentions
clinging to the shadows of words you left me
imaginary seas separating became real some how
i won’t repeat myself, just start over working around heart space belonging to someone who isn’t anymore… things fluctuate and others perceptions become hard to dismiss. whatever truths voiced can only be validated and there isn’t enough trust for that
i’ve felt her fears and my own possession wasn’t the goal
i lie to myself
the iron gray water forms bars that can not be bent though i wrap my palms around trying to plunge in to the depth of what might once have lived, crying silently out of sight, out of mind
only for seconds i pray for safety and believe in something imagined
stories tell different each time and again the truth centers around intentions
