Cory

The last time I felt truly alone

Was when he told me he hated me

When he denied my love

When I realized I needed him

My heart broke like that twenty years ago

When someone walked out on me in front of my locker

It was my space, but he took it with him

A year later he came back but in a different form

Same buzz cut, different dimension

At least that’s how it felt

My favorite song lyric is:

“Well give me love, over, love, over, this….”

And it makes me think of all the superficial things that

People in cults worship

People on the other side of what seems right and real

Because all there really is is love

And if you deny that, then you cancel yourself out

I feel like Cory is the one who

Would take it for me

If I told him I would for him, as well

Maybe even without that

His eyes are red because they absorb hate

And he feels like he doesn’t belong

But when I saw him cry for the first time

Something in my heart fluttered

And I wanted to know him

People see things from many different points of view

Depending on the aspects of the situation

Cory knows how I could go home

And I hope he lets me give him his
