LOVE Poem: Current Thoughts, by Jamile Staevie Ayres

It’s been two hours since you left
Another man has already been here
Penetrated me
Departed
And I still think of you
Profusely

It’s been six months since you left
Countless bodies in between
But no hearts
I think you took mine
When you withdrew your presence

I’ll use anything to justify
My sole obsession
With trying to unravel your mysteries

Such otherworldly enigma
Has disrupted my connection with reality
In the most beautiful of ways

On the brink of utter collapse
I lack the ability to store
These unidentified feelings

I might just let them explode
Into a costly decimation
Of any possibility of you returning
And bringing back my pulse

You might never venture
Into the depths of my being
Out of a fear I am unrelated to

Yet my euphoria emulsifies
Into all the threats you have faced

And I
A weak
Shattered
Surrendered
Concept of a person
Just seek your love
