You Don't Love Me Anymore Pt.1

Yesterday you loved me.
Today you don't.
Except you do.
Sometimes for hours
I'd pluck off your fairy wings
while you slept towards a porchlight;
your northern star.
With my fingertips I'd convince you
to trust the dusty words
and fine tuned pitch of my voice.
And if
I broke my wrist
when I reached out
to finger-trace the thought that counts,
would you come back into focus?
Promise?
Promise.
I promise I'd reverse retinal burns
and spotted vision
if it meant I could listen
to your voice
in soundwaves and count days
that I missed it.
Solemn in silence;
only backwards,
this time.
Yesterday you loved me.
Today you don't.
Except this time,
you really don't.
You don't.
