deus ex machina

because you always loved me
and never said it

I have scrambled through the scrap heap
of our relationship,

I have learned to love
what you love,

to read between
the lines,

to speak a language
you know.

because I always loved you
and never said it

I have worn the necklace you gave me
for seven years,

because it goes with everything
I want to wear,

I have lined the facts up,

and they do not fit together
like puzzle pieces,

but a story with no plot and
a happy ending.
