Plugging up all the holes July 13, 2012

 

Why, she asks, are you doing this to me.

Then the line goes dead,

She shutting it all off

Or perhaps someone with her,

My friend now my enemy

Shielding her

Against the dark of night,

And those that might hurt her,

A guardian angel

Guarding her against me,

A repeated question later by text,

Though I can’t say,

She isn’t the one,

He is,

The man consumed with her

Like I am

But won’t admit it,

and I

jealous of him,

expose him,

wanting him to admit

what I’m scared

to admit to myself,

he scared his ship might sink

if he doesn’t plug up

ever hole

and avoid every possible ice berg

including me.
