torn

torn apart for my eyes to see
for my strength to bleed
powerless over yours;
dusted tears remembering.

i will begin and end where our
laugh lines connected where
the lines of laughter
were ours alone.

then distance woke up from
her long term relationship and
our marriage behind brick
and soft stars; I wished upon
your dry ready hands and together
we are never
apart. we are torn
together in this space
between us;
forever kisses .
