Lesbian Poetry

In Response To Her Leaving

There are no words in the Universe to tell you how I feel.
Except that I ask you to tell Our Love
To please remove the knife from my back
So I can breathe...because I haven't taken a breath
Since last night. I guess I was so busy
Looking for dragons to slay for you,
I didn't feel the sword pointing at my own heart.
I don't know how..." Goodnight, Karen. I love you immensely "
Could turn into my soul mate, of five intense years,
Walking out the door without even an explanation.
This door has the same lock, and both your keys fit.
I just wish you could try a little harder to fit too.
If you had told me last night while you were laughing at my jokes,
That I was about to have my heart ripped out,
I might have bared my chest for you.
