~Mapped~

When people can just walk away from you, let them walk.."
- TD Jakes

needles

pierce

and stain
dragging across

the surface
slopes

of a

compas

delicate sharp

on yellowed paper

match

the torn pieces

to align

the stars

red rose

fire sunset
wears

and tears

now that

I know what

I am without
you can’t

just leave me

call my name

be my

saving grace
in this

messy place

only you know

the mapped patterns

of my heart

cold blue

rain
staying right

in front of me

the same

old place
I never want to leave

you make me feel

like my dreams

could come true

we share

a place

under

the same sun
I loved you

like a fire
it’s turning

blue
don’t walk

away

discern

the thoughts

intentions

of the heart

I love you
but you

disrupt
my
life
how did you

get so far away?

I found the stars
but who
are you?
