you moved.

not toward.
not away.
just slightly right or left.
keeping out of reach.

timing-
never my strength,
my asset,
my ally,
has failed me again-

my heart, this ruler among fools,
this king Judas,
has blinded me and kept me selfish.

the road to hell is paved with good intentions...

it never occurred to me to let the snoring canine slumber on,
to keep the molehill a baby

i never considered that as you travel this great land, doing what you love, you simply needed freedom, peace of mind, to live like smoke.

instead i made you leaden with cumbersome thoughts the world isn't ready for,
and for all your forward thinking,
your brilliance,
your vast maturity and understanding, your deep and strange love for me,

niether are you.
true irony, to alienate someone with love.

i finally realize it isn't simply telling someone how much they are, how you feel, how they make you feel-
it's knowing when not to tell them.

i wish i'd known that you already knew.
