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
