let the sun set on this

 

I heard you say you don’t like diamond cluster rings.

I heard you when you said grace before we ate our meal.

I heard you say you wanted to learn from me.

I heard you say you want to be pursued.

I heard you say you wanted to be able to submit yourself to me.

I heard you when you said you “got trust issues.” 

And I’ll keep on hearing you until my ear drums are perforated.

Until those muscles near my eyes begin to twitch.

Until a thin fog develops in my eye, reducing my visibility.

Until the vertebrae in the base of my skull is numb.

And if you don’t believe me, I’ve got the X-rays to prove just how much I really love you.

X-rays that take love....really loved your poem.

That takes a pic of love; yes, that would be something!

Great. Welcome Sir.
