No More Time Outs

If we had one left
Most definitely we would
Spend it
Take a trip somewhere--
Somewhere nice
With rainbows and shaved ice
Thaw out the frozen between us
Plagiarize our warmest embrace
Mend the fracture between us
with an eyes-open kiss that lasts
like the rain gently
tapping the window pane
when lovers cuddle warmly in bed
giggling at the jokes they’ve said
Eyes that do not lie
Eyes that reflect star-crossed fates
Eyes that…do not lie
No more time outs
This is the sunset
with dazzling pinks and streaks of orange
Passion of red
The anger that leaves us
Cooling into the late blue above
The ice between us
With fissures and splits and everything that makes ice beautiful
But makes our eyes I’s
Because we are us no longer
Just another relationship frozen in the past
No more time outs
