Fool!
That's what I am.
I drove you into another's arms,
just before my carefully packed trunk of emotions,
burst open.
All the feelings, I struggled so hard to contain,
are scattering – so many leaves in a hurricane.
Stop it! Stop them!
I'm drowning! I'm…drowning.
The confusion of their emergence stole my mind.
I can't think, focus, or plan.
Help me!
I'm begging, on my knees, help.
My soul mate has taken flight on wings of fiberglass and steel,
each drone of a diesel engine – miles added to our
separation.
Give me words to say!
I've got to reach into his heart,
touch the soul, I've battered and bruised.
I must for our sakes, heal, what I've destroyed.
I'm drowning and hope is my only lifeline.
