When I Thought You Made Me Whole

Tears fall from my eyes
Like bullets into concrete skies
Blessed from above, but raining down to meet
Chalk outlines of my heart on a precarious street
Your scent – waters cool and hemp so high
Lingers eternally in my mind
And reminds me of the one moment in time
When I thought that you were finally mine
Your eyes half closed in sleepy determination
My heart half breaking in waking admiration
Not believing what this world of mine had come to
Not processing that I was finally with you
I didn’t realize that we all just play a role
I was so innocent when I thought you made me whole
