Its been too long

Its been too long
Since your name touched my lips
Since fertilized thoughts filled my vacant, stale heart
Since tears occupied the cavities in my checks
Since i basked in the warmth from closed blinds

I have grown wings
Parachuting into sunlight
Fly past broken branches
Ignore distressed cries of amber leaves
Over overgrown avenues
And auspicious illuminations
I have formed words on my lips
That sing sweet songs of mocking birds

But its been too long
I have pretended to have control
But lost it along with you
These satin words are draining out

Dead end rode
Slam on the brakes
Bruised hips
Swollen lips
Over reactive minds
Its been too long
