heart breaks

when you wait
you take away
both our power

for, how can i respond, at a later date?
and, how can you own it, your response,
if you continue to hold on it

?

life can only exist in the present
and, each moment that passes,
it only creates



distance



so far we have travelled
to connect
that
in
these
unintentional

s
t
e
p
s


we
lose
our existence..

no one intends it.
it's usually in defense
we are retreating
but, the cost,
it keeps us

...bleeding..

and, when we speak,
we have to start over
from the very beginning

it
is
self
defeating

this whole process

no wonder
it gets us
no where
