she's waiting

the Lord, he knows that
I had moments where I
wanted to save you from yourself
and light up your doe eyes with hope

but emancipation
came several kisses too late-
sounded out the freedom that
rang in every syllable you spoke

re-mem-ber-when-our
eyelashes intertwined in the sun?
you grinned through the light
breaking through my blinds

re-mem-ber-the-
aurum outline of the .45?
our tongues locked;
your mouth full of lucid bullets
that furiously dug holes
towards your soul

and the Lord knows I-re-mem-ber
the time you never came home
