015. I can use terrible analogies, too.

your heart swings like a pendulum
in and out of this relationship
right to how you left me behind
at the baggage carousel
you had too many bags to take
on your spontaneous flight of fancy
& you refused to check them at the gate
saddling me with your responsibility

“but the thing is
I love you.”

and loving you makes certain things mine
and so I take those bags home
and I sort through their contents
and figure you out.

when you descend from the sky into our harbor
I’ll be waiting to take you home.
————————————–

This has so much more meaning when I read it aloud.

It also doesn’t really mean anything.  Don’t get too wrapped up in the details.
