Dear Lover

first love

 Dear Lover,

Do your palms still drip blood?
My heart steel,
the size of an infant daughter
does it to this day fit in both your hands?
Curled between ten fingers
can you still cradle it?
Skeptical to ask you these questions
But I desire to know,
as my heart sits in critical condition,
can you still play doctor?
Are you willing to surgically insert your pacemaker?
Making sure my heartbeat
drums in rhythm with your snares.
It’s vital;
for me to know
if our hearts can still dance the tango
with simple glares.

Memories reanimate themselves,
and your words inhale themselves
through my respiratory system;
exhaling in every breath I use to speak your name.
We are perfectly different
subscribed to each other’s channel
we stay tuned in to one another
even if the network’s service is weak;
no dish required.

Untainted spirits.
We have never indulged in relations,
but I could swear I’ve quartered
in your inside’s shelter.
I’m letting my words
shadow your actions.
I wonder if I can breakdown
and multiply the whole of our time
just so I can revisit you in fractions.
I can’t blame you for what you add,
and you can’t blame me for what I’m lacking.
I feel at sometime in our heart’s concert
we’ll agree that the others were just practice.

I never tried you;
nor found you guilty,
and you never pleaded innocent.
Do your palms still drip blood?
Is my heart still bleeding?

Yours always,
Forgotten Lover
