Come Undone

So she chimes in with
"I can't talk to you like that"
Highlighting past words

This time I ponder
Is she maybe listening
And strategizing

Measuring replies
Metering her responses
Managing retorts

Since my tongue is tied
And my mind races like light
I conjure the cat

Is he mine or hers?
Fundamentally conjoined
Blessed, sacred, holy

He is my best side
The calm I wish I could be
As the Spring tides surge

I point down a path
Nearly intraversable
For all the brambles

"I would have you here,
I could never make you stay
Please tread with kindness."
