– In Future Tensions –
Forgive me dear heart,
if I say too often now
how much I love you;
This life with you is too short,
too crowded in between
your spare moments.
We have spent too many
of our years in sorrow,
and I am so weary of these tears.
My universe has turned sideways;
Either with or without your gravity,
I am fixed to a point in your sky.
I have made a vision of you to pivot on,
a future memory to muse upon.
Forgive my dreamers heart,
the fantasy that I have created of you.
I know that you are real,
I know that you are human,
I know that you will falter,
as humans tend to do.
I know that you will fail me
as I have done too many times to you.
I must forgive us both
for the future outcomes
of my current instability,
if I am to hope that you
will someday do the same.
