Against the yellow bathroom door
Wearing black like you and the color were announcing an official affair.

 

It is hard to see through tears.
Hard to love such a filter,
Feel yourself filter through.
hard to imagine
I might taste forgiveness.
My tears have, effortlessly.
They know that which does not get watered
Does not grow.

And as a man,
You need a lot of watering.

So I shed these teachers
Hoping for change
To discipline the boy I cannot like
Until he learns to love.

Don't morph for the capsize
Harder waves have ridden you.

Hard to love such a filter, I know
But let yourself filter through.

I'll be waiting, effortlessly
