Spilled

Words of love spilled
Spilled out
As words on paper
Spilled out
Of our mouths
Rolled off our tongues
Leapt off our fingertips
Spilled into
Each other’s hearts
Filling us long empty
I became a deluge
Spilling unstoppable
Making a mess
Because of loving you

You ran
I pursued
You hid
I railed
Against your silence
I was no match
Tears spilled
From a heart breaking
“Space” you said
Love spilled from me
Nowhere now to go
Your heart not open
Mine now hollow
Love now lies spilled

  1. Beautiful. I suspect that reading through I'll keep putting that word to poem after poem, so I'll stop and use it now the once: Beautiful.
