v. the man who said i was his world
the one with the most shattered heart
is the one who risks it all to a man
who he knows is temporarily available;
who he knows it won't work from the preface;
he was crazy in love—
crazy for love that no one truly requires,
crazy for love that no one truly desires;
it was selfish,
'cause i waited for his daily ring
while he missed to log into my cheering eyes
'cause something is more precious
than an intangible sapphire like me;
i was foolish
to tolerate the same mistake
over and over and over again,
and you missed me from the other line,
like a child longing for his soldier dad
to come home with a sampaguita flower,
like an abandoned child
yearning for his rights
to come fetch him and
build him a holy home.
