i got love in all
the wrong places.
i got love way
down in my bones.

something more than
my heart or my mouth.

i got love in places
where you don’t have
that love. and can’t
get to it.

i got love like
a river that flows through
your head, deciding
between what i want you to
remember and what i’d
rather you have forgotten
by now.

i got love in every
thing i say and don’t say
and won’t say but i
want to
say.

i got love that goes to
places it shouldn’t go and i
got love that knows things
that i don’t know.

at least,
not yet.

please…
let me know.

i got love that wants you
to smile but i got love
that wants you to die a little
when i’m not within grasp.

i got selfish love, bored
love, and love i haven’t
put a name or face to.

at least,
not yet.

i got love in all the
wrong places. i got
love way down
under there.
