I dont have much anymore
by way of
patience or talent...
I have apathy
and I have you.

Jayson, if you could
just send your spark this
way
so that I could ignite myself

all things personal and painful

but I lay on the floor
day after day
when you tell me I should move
and I just
whisper mantra
"I love you. I love you"

Author's Note: one of those poems that resurge from times past. like getting angry at an old argument.......
