The Room Growing Light

So
your words say no
body language mumbled barely aloud
I admit I am not proud
no
begging let me go
while everything in me says please stay
I admit I am not okay

In the room growing light
Jane you don’t fit me right
I know we’ve tried and tried
and tried
but the painting hasn’t dried
I’ll see you again after tonight
in the room growing light

Oh
actions say no
your movement says you’re too cool for school
I submit that I’m a fool
no
I’ve nothing left to say
but there’s so much on my mind today
I submit I’m not okay

In the room growing light
Jane you won’t see the light
I know we’ve tried and tried
and tried
but the river is so wide
I’ll see you again after tonight
in the room growing light

The shape and taste of morning
hits our tongues without a warning
though all along I watched the light slowly rising
slowly rising and burning on

In the room growing light
maybe someday you’ll fit me right
even though we’ve tried and tried
and tried
we wait until the painting has dried
and I’ll see you again after tonight
in the room growing light
two faces greet the dawn
slowly rising and burning on

I heard you read this aloud...in my mind.
Very good, poet.
