Velcro

The water drips down,
Each patient for its turn;
Each owning that very second
Each with that moment to shine

I can only stare
With eyes wide open
Sucking in the moment
Into the abysses of my soul

Something I thought happened to someone else
Fell right into my arms
Onto my lap
And actually sat still, not squirming
I pinch myself

Then I think it's a dream
I pinch myself harder
Because this cannot be true
Nothing ever is so perfect
As perfect as you

So I stare at the star sprinkled skies
Watching the fairies fly
A shooting star falls
Yet another heart is broken
And I am angry I am fragile

The is something about the "we"
It scares the hell out me
Because 2 can be broken
Or ripped apart
As easily as they can be velcro-ed

Isn't it all but velcro
Comes loose when pulled apart
The transcience of the moment
The belonging that is no more yours
Whether or not you like it

I felt it once, I returned it once
We're even now
And so I find myself velcro-ed
Once again to the very thing I fear
Could once again rip this fragile being apart
