So here I am
Waiting again
Despite the harm
Your company’s done
To all I cherish
In this my limited time
For your predictable
Mindlessness

It seems only then
The woman I’ve loved
All my life as a man
Comes through you
Eternal Feminine
As if passing through
Who you never were
Like an opened door

She speaks to me
In a tone
You will never know

Her words a wine
That act as anodyne
A balm that soothes
All inflicted wounds
When you return

This blue of your eyes
That long blond hair
Are nothing compared
To what is hers
She alone is why
And only why
I’m still with you

Faithful to you
Because she appears
Now only through you
When you’re not here

A vacant vacuous avenue
And no one else

Very hauntingly sad and lonely.

Sometimes
I drift to the dark side

Thanks for reading
