i.

we had so much more
when we could count our
age on our fingers.
he/she...them.
no one knows where the
innocence flies when
we are pushed
to let go of anything
(everything)
that represents us.
it just leaves unexpectedly
like a rolling wave,
a draining disease.

ii.

i tried holding on but he
shouted at me,
"don't you see, can't you tell."
i was never blind
but i also could never find
a release
anywhere to realize what i
had done and why.
there were questions always
floating just
above my head but my
fingers never
ventured up into the air to
reach for them.

iii.

and i apologized over and
over again in my head.
you couldn't have known...
you never
showed anything except hard
eyes and tight
knuckles.
i never knew who you were,
you never fought me
into the burning fire.
we just stood there,
unharmed for awhile.

i wish i could have realized
where we were
coming from and why we
always felt so dead
in the end.
