The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter

[RareForm]

Falling between the space within you
Falling into sleep without truth

Rejection leads to resemblance
In the heart of the matter

I learned to fill the spaces
With everything clandestine

Told everyone with ears
This would not bring me down

I overcame sentimentality
Not because of you

I just wanted to destruct it
& make it something new

---

Falling between the space within you
Falling into sleep without truth

You're no longer the soft body
under the bones of the bed

In some place beyond time
My clear voice only echoes in you

Told everyone with ears
This would not bring me down

I overcame sentimentality
Not because of you

I just wanted to destruct it
& make it something new

I will not die without knowing every version of love

Falling between the space within you
Falling into sleep without truth

Just had to check in on BL in a hurry before work (ok, an addiction,yes, I admit) and always come to Words hoping to find some beauty to grab hold of. Your words are that and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. This is an incredible poem. I will read it again when I get home--THANK YOU!
