Subject: And Please Don't Leave

And Please Don't Leave

The wall of love again,
And I'm in Siesta.

Get this, then.

Believe it or not,
I pray often to
Something not there,
To forgive me
For not believing
Something is there.

Often.
In desperation.
Seriously.

Nothing there
Responds every way it can,
But I'm too used to it.

I'm so jaded,
I call everything
Nothing.

So intangible,
I want tangible,
But nothing tangible
Can be supernatural.

Nothing supernatural
Can be tangible.

Prove the ghost
Of a giant tortoise
Doesn't pull the sun
Across the sky.

Prove it beyond the
Shadow of a doubt.

I don't believe in giant tortoise ghosts.

So who am I talking to?

Sighing, I lean back,
I feel the rough brick
Chafe my skin through
Cotton.

Figuratively.

Try this then.

I saw faith
In the eyes
Of the most beautiful
Woman in the world.

It was incredible.
She is.
And she is real.
Tangible.

I am not
The most beautiful
Man in the world.

I didn't ever want to
Fall in love again.
It wasn't my idea,
Or hers.

I can't tell her this.
Can I?

Forgive me.

-Gray Squirrel
