Love & Relationships Poetry: Love

Words by: Vonkeisha Gibson

The tides were far too high, we waited too long to address the rising waters

On the edge, waiting on you to say something

Or at least signal me to disappear….save myself

We’ll both drown here together, I heard you say it…you didn’t have to say it

I’ll only find you help if you do things my way…I heard you say it.. you didn’t have to say it

Every memory restive, saturating my spirit with guilt of ever reverencing you

I wanted you, you wanted TWO

Waters rising getting deeper, only to expose your fish in the sea

In any event, even when the fish were plenty

I wanted your Love to choose me
