An Ode to an Unforgettable

Started writing it a while ago... Finally been able to finish it.



EVEN ANYTHING
by Kelly B Jones

Even the syringe-strewn alley way
Even the softie-filled kiss
Even the stuttered words you say
All these things, I inescapably miss

Even my pixilated pupils dilate
Even your name is uttered in blunder
You winked at me as you shook hands with fate
It’s no wonder, Its no wonder

I’ll sing it, I’ll dance it, but who am I acting for?
I won’t let it go even though I closed that door
Over the seas, my autonomy expires through my pores.
What’s left – a sleeping tragedy, that knew love no more.

Even the cosmic waves and whales between our noses
Even the continents of garbage and loss
I still see you, I’ll still inhale your crispy roses.
Through everything, you’ve still been crossed.

The guilty pleads forgiveness
And permission to once again, fall
To love you, even from a distance
Even anything at all
