because of you (poem)
Sunday, Oct. 20, 2002
because of youMaybe only you
Can understand
A wreathed door
Staring into my empty
Heart
Smashed pumpkin jack eyes
Stuck in my shoe
Maybe I will pray
In hushed color tones
And think about how
I�ll lick all your vitamins
Because I only have the back
Bathroom
Then someday I�ll
Laugh about the tragic way
I hauled my bed
Because your couch
Already had reservations
Maybe only you
Can understand
A closed door
An empty heart
Smashed lies
Stuck in my sole
Maybe I�ve had friends
Who knew too little
But I have you
And that friendship
Names me a lucky girl
Because of you I have
more than enough
reasons to get through
-PoeticaL
Thank you god for always
Taking away just enough
That I now see
What I�ve been given
Before it�s completely known
