before it was home
it was you. and i'll tell you this--
in hushed whispers for no one to know--
but everybody does. everyone knows
you are my home, and that
i ache when away. they know
you hurt for a cure to loneliness. i think
everyone knows but you and i.

and what a time it was.
i carried the weight for
only a second before you
took it away. i felt for your warmth
in the dark, a little girl once more--
looking for an unending pain. love isn't
love if neither person wants to admit they've fallen.

i always thought it odd that
you carried me home. i had never
let myself be held, so--
so close to
falling.

maybe one of these days i will
run into the atlantic--
my favorite body of water, you knew this--
i will laugh like a madwoman, and
tangle my hair with seawater, and
feel the salt grate on my tongue:
maybe that is when you will never see me again.
when i was a little girl, i used to wonder if
i controlled the ocean. maybe i was right and i do.
