Blue-Grey Tee

You didn’t mind and I didn’t matter
I’d be your sounding board in exchange
For stolen glances at God’s handiwork
How you cared to steward His chiselings 
I studied in the moment of the dream
All

The whole time, damned to awaken
But I, glad for the dream 
Said I love you
Sang a song 
And at once
Arose 

In Love

It isn’t
It can’t be
It is though
And will be

A lifetime
Of melting
Of twisting
And cracking

I want out 
I want in
The all-heart
And tough chin

No side-step
No fast-track
I’m left here
And staying
