Heartbreak Upstairs

While high on the peaks of love, Lend your ear To the doorstep tears Of those Once in the same, Who thought forever meant time And time meant something More than the long legs Or strong arms Of someone unfamiliar

The knowing, That what is now your world May all at once Be the very force Which stops its spinning, Adds weight to each step Into the sweet, thin air But brings too The subtle cry Of gratitude
