Eclipse

I’ll try

Once more

To knock on your door

Just to make sense

Call it gullible innocence

Revived by my heart

While I cry

In mourning what shot down before

 it could reach the sky

Landing corpse on the floor

I refuse to believe

other than your words

despite of the action’s hurt

turning me away broken & sore

my soul refuses to bury

my truth

at your feet it lies

while shovel is in your hand

I’m wary

hoping it will build instead

I await

For you to sing a different lullaby

And read me with patience a child’s story

Instead of a dismissing goodbye
