I Should Have Never Told You

Your eyes were a spectrum of passion that

I had never seen before.

They were reflecting pools that rippled with the cries of spring peepers

I had dreamt of hearing again.

They were the homes of soft velvet moss that

promised me the future didn’t exist.

Your fingertips carved your sweet intentions into my upper thighs like lovers’ names

in the bark of an old weeping willow tree.

I could tell your gentle hands were searching for asylum.

So, I let you take refuge in the crashing waves that

were my chaotic soul.

I let you salvage the wind of your own breath that

had been stolen from your lungs.

I let you reclaim the surging power you had been craving

since obsidian replaced your heart.

I let you set fire to the jungle I had spent

my whole life nurturing.

I let you break down my mountains that

even God himself could not have created on the seventh day.

Just so I could save your burning soul.

But those same fragile, desperate eyes promised to raise a forest around me.
