The Garden

I was the one who wanted to live forever
I was the one who dared to love forever
I offered you fullness, elation and clarity
For every single damn day in every shard of
Eden by every string of ruthless paradise
I was the one who never dreaded abidance
The one who endured and stayed true to
myself and to the promise of possibility
You were the one who couldn't resurrect to
the power of your words and chose to decay
in front of the unraveling of my bliss
You never stay
You never live to tell
I offered you blind loyalty and patiently
persevered in the longing of you capturing
it with nails and teeth to escape the drought
and scarcity we know in times like these
As a chance to restart and restore
You've thrown it away like if it were wrapped
into a pile of magazines, old scribblings,
dead batteries, used condoms and smoked joints
So don't you dare to point your finger at me
and call me weak when you're the one who's
running
