Connected Veins
Hands gripped so
tight I can’t tell
which heartbeat
is yours
or mine
And maybe that’s
a metaphor for
our love
our hearts connected
our bond is so in sync
that even our
hearts know
Or maybe it’s that
I want it to be
a metaphor
for our love
I want to be
so intertwined
that our heart beats
are ticking in
time together
Or maybe it’s that
I want everything
to be a poem
to have life read
as love
and that everything
is connected and
it is all art
even our hearts
Or maybe it’s that
I am searching
for something
that isn’t even there
a picture
or story created
all in my head
to make this whole
thing feel like it
has a purpose
Or maybe I want
it to be real
that we are
could be
one
as to justify
the way I feel
about you
that maybe you feel
it too
that it’s not just me
Or maybe
just maybe
our hands are clasped
tight and that is
all that really matters
because right now
you are here
and I am here
and we are together
and maybe that is
enough
