Thomas

by Dorsi - Not entered

I think of you often
how often I am not sure, I do not time myself
In the past
I never worked things out in my mind
so now I do yesterday's job
someone has to
you see
leaving pieces of you cluttered in my room will not
help the situation any
so today i throw out the pieces
a few I hold on to, i admit
the heart is stubborn
I don't know if I loved you
I only know this much
something inside of me needed you
and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't make it work
stingy and selfish I got instant gratification
temporal relief
I was not thinking of future me's
Now, my hear cried, Now
Your heart cried Now too
however now's meant no later's
we were born that night
we died that night too
you were my friend
and I lost you to lust
and I lost you to selfishness
and In lost you with a kiss
it wasn't fair
the ways your hand taunted me
the way your words kissed me
How was I not to play too?
I want to scream at you now
to tell you, I looked up to you so,
in my eyes I saw you godlike, in my eyes
there none more beautiful,
and for the love and friendship you gave
I loved you, I loved you because of your eyes.
Because of the way your hand touched my back,
for the shorts and black shirts you used to always wear
I loved you for your laugh and your smile which made us both glow
for your wisdom I so admired,
for the way I felt in your arms,
for the friend who took care of me,
the name you used to call me. i loved you so. You were my friend
and I miss my friend.
But you will not even look at me
you have moved on with your life
i am not a part of that
your wife, however is,
she was your always
I am a spark
Oh, but how brightly I burned for that moment!
But let us not talk of burning
then we shall have to go into
witch trials, and such
Besides equating myself to Joan of arc seems a bit extreme
No I will settle for smaller metaphors
I am like ET... I phone home, no one answers

I spun in circles for more than sixty days
I do not spin anymore
Now i fall down and see God
now I am dizzly sick!
Now i think I will vomit
I sit on the grass
lying here
everything is not in foucus
things still blend
however sepreration is coming
when it comes I will let it go 
I will let it go quietly
I will no be the mad, bird, woman, screaming into the night
no I will watch it float away
like watching a heluim ballong float up to God
and then I will get up when it has gone out of sight
I shall forget like you have, Thomas
I will no longer need you then, Thomas
