It will be all right
you said
as I kept hurting you,
throwing all this garbage.
You were not smiling
but underneath my tears
and your silences,
underneath all this panic
of losing and being trapped
of never finding and being tied to
I heard the deep wave of comfort
in your steady voice,
the way you are always honest
to the edge of your horizon
and these latest tears
slide gratefully
as my heart continues to break open.
