assets and liabilities are terms best left on the accounting room floor, like old has-been punch cards... folded, spindled, mutilated castaways, of data entered that was filled with nonsense the numbers and words don't compute the total loss is no accounting game and adjustments cannot make it add up to love when your heart is filled with bitter red ink thoughts that have nothing to do with reality and you know, I would have walked to the ends of the Earth alongside you, but you buried my heart when you said you did not trust me, though you had incorrectly entered erroneous numbers and said you were not willing to take on anymore 'liabilities' as you unfairly compared me to others who have drained you yes, my love you are drained and dry docked, it seems without the ability to accept someone such as myself, someone who offered you unconditionally a forever kind of love and friendship yes, you are drained far more than I realized and I had foolishly believed we actually held the heart of the moon within our fingertips, as we sang a harmony that was so sweet, so passionate, so connected but now the notes are harsh and bittersweet; yet this fool still holds the sound of you so deep within the confines of her heart that a veritable flood of tears cannot release the ocean of pain even so, I am filled with love and can do nothing but drown |
