the love

you have

low in your bones

down to marrow

you want to be with her

night & day

all the way

balls out & deep

& then

the hurt comes

after you’ve given up

everything

like the sap that you are

loving her more

than she loves you

for heart ignoring her past

thinking all you had to do

was not recreate that

while she set you up

to be the same as then

not seeing the new

presented in front

this is how some women are

never forgetting yesterdays
