Borders (I)

My Other Accounts

I am on the outside

Of the border of your being

On that path away

From secret conversations

In a boundaryless country

Where absolute freedom

Kept me tied

To you.

As I look back, see the fray

Of an unravelled friendship

I want to go back

On a road that takes me forward.

Pack on the path? Back on the path? Each takes the poem in a different direction... ;)

I like pack, it makes me feel as though you're ready to fix things, settle, sort out, comfortable, want to stay
