Jojb - Felt Valley

I think about you all the time
I think about you all the time
I see you run across my mind
Been on this journey just to find
I felt the pressure watch me shine
Doing my best just to be kind
I won't press rewind
Whenever tears come I forget what good they do
I lay waste their use
Not unafraid but unwilling to waste pearls of salt
Even the empathic can feel apathy
Because it is a survival skill
The unrequited quest to feel... love
No, weighted
Deconditioned to know bounds of joy, like words
All absent when my tears come
People watching I get none from, like fear
But in their presence these words hum
The deaf vibration of digitus stokes
Meaningless outside of what they were intended to provoke
Profound if only in the ways they could be percieved
Bound, like love, in the ways they can be understood
A felt valley the shape of an anatomically correct heart
No longer a symbol, no longer arbitrary
But a testament to truth of a star-crossed youth
Begging to be blood that pumps through this valley
The smell of dryer sheets in an alley: scent of action, a rally
A ventricle surrounds giving me shelter, me providing me space
A flutter in pace with long arms wrapped around your waist
Caressing just the right place
I think not to fear this godly way
I aim not only to talk but to pray
I count blessings to measure and say
Thank you for blessing me with you today
Thank you
