Mercurial

You wanted my soul​

Gave it to you three times over

Does it feel uncomfortable?

Like something you love about yourself

You wish people could see

Like when you said

Sometimes bravery means

Trying again tomorrow​​

Mercurial, these two stilted birds

Dark, temporal

Dogs that run toward but never touch

 

Unfathomable form

Soft, propitious adore

Bronze, arching over your

Calm, holding me toward

 

I wanted to call​

Couldn’t get my heart to wrap it

Straight into the crystal ball

You would’ve rolled your eyes at

What the card said

What does it mean to care?

I hope that after all that we shared

You’d at least say it to my face

 

Unfathomable form

Soft, propitious adore

Bronze, arching over your

Calm, holding me toward
