When you fail to stop seeing my identity

Please forget me.

When your heart beats for another,

move on.

When analytics take your emotions

down a path that your heart isn’t willing

to go,  then don’t follow.

We can separate now,

maybe recover from these

self-inflicted injuries,

or stay in this moment

and make the kind of love 

that hurts so good.

When you love this deeply your bound

 to touch the depths of pain

So don’t confuse my silent tears

as a mistake but an affirmation

 I’ve never been loved

 to the point where my soul

 took on the spirit of my lover…

That’s why I’ll always long

for your intimacy
