You would do well to listen...
Well, I don't like it when people tell me what to do, so I almost didn't read this poem. lol
But it's Elliot fucking Lacey, I thought. There's got to be more to it.
Obviously, there is. It's like a whisper from somewhere bigger than you, bigger than everyone. It's not indignant, pouty, sad, or demanding, but just as powerful. Suddenly as you read, you recognize it as your own humanity, untainted by all the fear and uncertainty that gets in the way. It tells you to put all that down and listen, watch, feel. Soak everything in. It opens the door to everything you haven't seen of yourself and your partner and leaves you feeling vulnerable and exposed. But safe. If you've ever loved before or never loved before, this is the moment. This is what it is.
