Friend Request Poem by Jason R Tschetter

<The sight of her very name turns things within my stomach.
With a powerful song I try to rely on my chaos
I try anything not to taste the bitterness of that which I had lost
I am unable to bear the very weight of her gaze
Yet she randomly adds me as a friend through electrical connections ablaze

A heavy heart weights me down this day as I wake
Yet I am unaware of what awaits me when the sleep begins to shake
Hard of heart
Hard of soul
Yet the very sight of her name breaks me apart

The barriers that I had built
Are nothing but frail paper beneath her hand
I wish that she would help me
Yet I know the truth that she doesn’t’t understand

I am bound to the cascading darkness of my goddess
The other woman that holds my hand in the darkness alone
The one that held me when no one would and I was left behind
Yet when this old love seeks for me
It is hard not to bow before the heat and flame that is Emily

These barriers I had build
Are nothing but matches beneath her finger
Singed and charred I hope she would caress me
Yet I know the truth
Yet I know the truth….. >
