would you know
what makes people
stick long together
love is a glue
love is hard
love is tricky
comes too quick
goes too soon
yet people stay
not for lust
just for respect
there is one
not the other
but without passion
with regard lacking
everyone flees abroad
or shrink aboard
when these go
respect and love
and some stay
it’s called abuse
it’s deemed prison
it is war
captive and captor
inmate and warden
partner and abuser
an unholy alliance
things that once
went all around
stand motion still
an ugly picture
carved in debris
of dreary memory
hold onto them
don’t let go
they are fabrics
the paper textiles
covering all the
things we adore
yet easily torn
by ego cascades
and fleeting feelings
hold onto them
if they go
we are gone
