waiting to draw blood

i went to look for you

but you were not at e

i am glad that you are taking time to

heal the hurt lodged deep in your soul

while i wait to have someone

examine the e in my blood

because apparently i have

more estradiol than i need

i think of you healing your hurt
and hope that your dreams
do not wake me up to whimpers

and you do not need my arms
to bring you back
only to feel my love
