if i could
would i change
1 second of this
shit and horror
or would i simply
know that i am
exactly where
i need to be
and accept
this gift of pain
this discomfort
from yesterday
and all the
days before
would i deny
you your pain
only so i
wouldn’t have
to watch
you suffer
anymore
this dream of ours
this nightmare
of perpetual
disquiet
i can’t imagine
loving anyone
as i love you
yes this fucking hurts
and we both know
our pain is here
to show us how
to get to peace
in this
uncomfortable position
this bodhisattva posture
if i know that i
am all potential
that means that
you are too
