Doing what she tells me to do Feb. 3, 2015

  

I do what she bids me to do, to come or go, to live or die, to take deep breaths when in the deep sea or not breathe at all.

I do whatever you believes I need to do, so she can thrive.

It this thing love that makes me float like a cork on these terrible ways, where I cannot be certain where my life is, what it ought to be, she, biding my heart to hers, even if she knows not, tied to her life in bold knots I cannot until, if that is what I want.

I do what she tells me to do, to breathe or not, to dip deep into this eat we see as love, but which may not be, and I suck in the tides deep into my lungs, drowning in her wake, like a dreamer.
