    If It Rains I Want to Be the Last to Know

    and I want you to be the one that tells me.
    I want your word on your sincerity,
    and I want your eyes looking into mine.
    I'd like it if you took my hands
    and held them somewhere near our chests -
    and say it slow and sure and firm,
    baring nothing after left for question.
    Tell me all the weight of drops
    that pour upon the plastic awnings.
    Paint the landscape in my head
    with only words you've chosen.
    Make such sounds that stir the dead
    with the depths to which they travel,
    and grant no option past another
    that forces me all at your side.
    And if there's stars or charcoal skies
    I want just you to fetch me too.
    Gladly take your hand in mine
    and help me to enjoy myself.
    Aid me and my fragile vice;
    force me to antagonize
    the every bit of former me
    and his lack of sweet momentum.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
