If It Never Comes

So much to say
no place to start
sitting here
watching
the shining fragments
spin
away
into the past.

Remembering
my heart
and the set of my soul
at the time
I know
I opened myself
to you without fear
trusting that you
felt the whispered promise
of what we could be.

Like a lamb
to the slaughter.
I wonder
did it thrill you
to slay me
with the double axe
of your silence
and rejection?

No.
Somehow
even now
I can't think that of you.
If I'm a fool
for this
and you secretly laugh
in other arms
please god
let me
be ignorant
until my death.

Let me sit
and believe
there is an answer
even
if it never comes.
