Aim
If a cherry tree is a cherry tree
And my aim is true
Where did I leave you & you?
In a broken car I never knew about?
Inside a heart pendant held by an angel?
In a soft letter with ink running left outside all night?
I thought we’d see you
That we’d be proud
And happy
I thought we’d shine
together or lightyears away
and how that absolutely wouldn’t matter.
Your long legs & warm arms that I thought would always want to hug me
And it turns out I was very wrong
How about smoking?
How about painting with me?
I’ll light a candle for wherever your heart lands…
I’ll be hoping it’s safe
I’ll be hoping it’s on target
I’ll be hoping it’s not a secret from me
But either way,
I’ll be okay.
