Reason for Detour

listen to ‘reason for detour’ on Audioboo

You found me in this state

A condition deplorable

And yet you held my hand

 and talked me down

I clutched my heart

And in you

I found

Reason

For

Detour…

I found you in that state askew

A position unenviable

With tears ragged and obtuse

Upon violet pegs you share yourself

every incensed shards of truth

         not knowing which path to walk toward

or how quickly pain absorbs, the delicate insides

                  the repressing pangs of time,

         unaware of what comes next,

                  was impossible to guess

         But as it turned out

         All you needed was someone to care for

                  Somebody to love you to the core

A person, someone

                           Who only needed you, and exactly all of

What you had to offer

        

         And I

So willingly found you

         In mirrored fractures

In mirrored fractures of disheveled decree

But together,

in each other,

each reflection makes the other

as is intended to see

as is intended to see

as is intended to be
