when you said you loved me<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

what did you do with it<\/span><\/p>\n

after you didn’t anymore<\/span><\/p>\n

after the rain of love dried<\/span><\/p>\n

after laughs<\/span><\/p>\n

after baths<\/span><\/p>\n

after toast & watermelon<\/span><\/p>\n

after cups of water in the night<\/span><\/p>\n

after morning smiles & phone calls<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

i know what i did with mine<\/span><\/p>\n

i have a wall of pain painted<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 nigerian indigo,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 created lyrics for a howlin’ wolf,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 fashioned a mask of brown sadness,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 & in a midnight hour<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 buried love’s corpse quietly<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 watching dry eyed<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 as the heart-red crypt slipped<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 peacefully deep into<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 the sea of my experiences<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 where the brackish-green, obsidian<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 sealed sepulcher shall sleep<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 untroubled by resurrection attempts<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

when you said you loved me<\/span><\/p>\n

i never thought of it in the past tense<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

what did you do with it<\/span><\/p>\n

after you didn’t anymore<\/span><\/p>\n
