help me find the light
around the door
because the dark room of your heart
seals itself.
i'm no magician.
my wand can only go so deep
because seasons change
like a woman's temper
and the leaves don't circle
around this oak
like they should
because you speak too much of
demons
and i can't clip these white wings for you
no more.
beatrice is gone
and i am still here tossing copper
across greened waters
that run still and deep.
you needed me
like a medical saw
in a battlefield
but i couldn't cut you out baby
because your pain
was just that sweet to me
and your honey dipped kisses
still blind my diabetic blood
left thick with regrets.
I can't do the romeo thing anymore--
you're just too young to die for
and you say its unfair
well you started off with a stacked deck
and i sat at the table counting cards
but you didn't know my angle
and so you delt with your mind still on his hands.
i hated you
and burnt you into and out of my life
a fragrant reminder
of how to succeed in destroying
memories of a tender kiss, unrealized.
