Dear God,
It’s been a long time since I’ve spoken to you.
The truth is, I really miss you.
But recently I can’t say I really know who you are anymore.
In conversation, it was said recently to me that losing you would be like,
“the affect of breaking up with three girlfriends all at once”.
That hit the nail on the head, but what I dont know is if…
they drove the nails through your hands, and your feet.
“God, I need you”, I’m Selfish.
I miss having an objective view of who you are.
It made it easier to love you.
Love. The object of my devotion, eternally.
Give me the tools to serve an unseen, distant Lord and I’ll plough the fields, I’ll guard the temple, I’ll be a fisherman of men.
Show me love, and I’ll love you. If you really know my heart, you know that I desire to love you, because without you it’s been empty, empty empty.
Please come home, it’s been too long.
Sincerely,
The wayward son.
When they swear, their love is real, they mean,
“I like the way you make me feel”.
He is the lamb, she is the slaughter.
She’s moving way too fast and all he wanted was to hold her.
Nothing that he tells her is really having an effect.
He whispers that he loves her,
but she’s probably only looking for.
In pre-festive warmth of minced pies and mulled wine,
In the midst of company we spoke and somehow seemed alone.
Common experiences shared danced beneath my skin,
Partners, years practiced, cathartic and akin.
African beats, our mother’s roots, nostalgic and joyful,
jokes made, red faces, nervous shy smiles.
Your friends took us out to a place I’d never been before,
Compared to before, juxtaposed and unfamiliar.
Thick air, euphoria, reckless abandonment.
I drank to conform, step out and give in.
You made me smile, you looked gorgeous, I probably looked out of place.
Should I have kissed you, in this context? I tried to; did I have the chance to?
Is this romance, did you want me to take you home?
Do you want what I want, someone to call your own?
What would have happened after the meat was chewed off the bone?
When the night ended, I slept and felt alone.
