Dark Corners
I found you in a dark corner
Alone and scarred
Thirsting
Believing yourself undeserving
I came from a dark place too
So tired and bruised
Strong was the desire to be the water for you
Have what you need
I love you
I want you in my forever
You said it was possible
Then she returned
And our grown flesh was
Once again dried bones
Why would you tell me
You have to sit and be with her
Then asking me to wait
Lick the scrap from your dinner plates?
No
No thanks
I couldn’t help but love you
You couldn’t help but pull away
These recycled patterns
Will keep us in dark corners
Day after day
