Slowly I’ve been trying,
hell’s unyielding symmetry, above,
below, in all of us.
You gave me all this life,
I can’t even say how much I owe,
hell, I’m still in love,
stuck repeating us.
I won’t even try,
I can’t recall your touch,
so don’t even,
I’m just a caretaker.
A habit for some time,
it bears repeating,
fittingly, I’d run,
I can’t reset the sun.
A backup for real life,
a haven in my image, boarded up,
however it’s spun,
it’s never been worth it,
I won’t even try,
I can’t recall your touch,
so don’t even,
I’m just a caretaker.
Feel it in your gut,
you don’t belong in love.
