Can You Tell Me?
That everything will connect in a terrific splendor
Wires plugged into the outlet that is my Cardiac muscle
Pumping the red juices to your own in a morbid attachment
Becoming an alternate way to live.
Tell me that the truth is exactly what it seems
And not twisted into such words that are the opposite reality
Let me know the mirror is not the truth and you are
The candle to my inviting flame.
Undeniably so there is a cruel throb in my chest when
When I think of your voice and listen to your words
The possibility of listening for hours on end without stopping
A truth that you may find unnerving.
Now and once more I will ask
The question that I once feared to utter
The dreaded one that would smite me where I stand
"Do you love me?"
