tim's Bits and Pieces - 51. There Are Men I Love
1.
How many times will my heart break before it’s irreparable?
I cannot count the tears I’ve shed over you
You’re like our child
I know you hurt
I know that’s why you hurt me, over and over
And it’s why I let you
Because you don’t mean to
Because you need someone to hear you
And I do
I hear you
My heart and door are always open
You do not have to be alone
2.
Hearts are broken by soul destroying words
Leaving us bereft, alone; filled with hopelessness
Shells of ourselves wander through the sameness of days
Breathing automatons who do the right things so ...
the normal among us leave them alone
So heavy is their pain they no longer see
the bright beads of happiness
... scattered ...
here and there
3.
there are men I love
not destined to be lovers
they are friends, collaborators, soulmates
what I feel for them surprises me daily
the depth of this love
… an ocean.
