I want the impossible, always

Linda M. Crate

    My poor little broken heart, I don’t know how many more fractures it can stand. I just want to be happy, to be so in love with you again, for you to love me again. Yet that won’t happen will it? You’re too wounded a man to love or be loved — you use your silence as a sword to cut off the limbs of love until the only thing left is melancholy and void. Once I flew so happily to your side now, wolf, you can cut your own trek through the forest. I’ll never join you again. Feast on the entrails of your prey alone, you need not share with me anymore. This conversation was dead before it began, like our love unraveling it’s tale into the breath of stars. Romance is overrated, anyway, you only ever wanted my sex. Stupidly I gave it to you, and now I’m stumbling on the threadbare wisps of myself remembered before you came stealing into my life. A drunken hobo cursing every waking hour.
