It was the way you looked at me
that one final time
as if to say
"this is the last time I will ask"
and so I picked you up
from somewhere within my hate drowned soul
and laid you
with your lovely lines
onto white sheets
with airbrused soft blue
and tried so hard to make you beautiful
meaningful.
tried to bend you to my will
before you took my hand
to say
"feel it. Don't force it"
and you changed before my eyes
creating yourself
for me.
and I wrote you
with all the will
to finally move past the stain of hate.
Finally
letting the real words back in
reclaiming poetry.

Jennifer!
And reclaim it you have. Welcome back...

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
