soul

mate.

i found her for you

today

just now.

this happiness,

finally...

a burden taken off of me,

of looking front and back

and side to side

to the sky and on the road

where i know

only her shadows kissed

and her breath left a cough.

tomorrow is

for you,

for her.

and today

i am free to go

back to my bed

free to lie down

and slide underneath

my face numb

my left foot in pain

my right ankle sprained 

and my hands so icy

out, out, and i exhale

and they melt

away, away.

out, out and away.
