Starlight Confession
I loved you when
You didn’t love me
When you couldn’t love me
When you shouldn’t love me
Poems by Kelli J. Gavin
Every. Single. Day.
Are you arriving?
Maybe leaving?
Where are you going?
What brings you back?
Let it be me
Let it be usHis Love Swung Low
His love swung low
Gathering me up
Leaving nothing behind
Broken pieces and busted edges
Acknowledging my need to healWhen The Tears Fell
When the tears fell the first time
I wiped them as soon as they touched my cheeks
When they fell again
I wasn’t as quick to tend to the tearsConstriction
It hurts more every day
The tightness
The grasp
The hold
Wondering when it will end
If it will endThe Road Home
Maybe there was something more
Someplace where my mind could rest
Where I wouldn’t feel such constant flux
A place where sleep would come easily
But those roads lead to nothing I wanted
