How lonely have you been, my love?
Why did you watch the red swill down the plug hole all alone?
Why did you have to live that way and watch Life seep out of your tired veins when they don't know how to come back home?
How lonely have I been, my love?
That I did not blink twice when you smiled at me?
Why did I have to live that way and ignore the homecoming of a survivor who wears the most beautiful scars?
How lonely have we been, my love?
That we drowned ourselves in the bubble of fermented mess?
Why did we have to live that way and slit the throats of our desires neatly to save our prides from a mild scratch?
How lonely can we now be, my love?
Now that I've known your worth?
I'll cradle your smile like a titled eclipse
and kiss the constellation of your freckles back and forth.
And the only thing
blossoming full and red,
will be our hearts-
and Love will find a way back home.
