Crevice

You put up a bed in my mediastinum
Told me in your best voice
How your love would be platinum
I sat down on the mattress
Expecting your best
Understanding your humanity
Would also include "the rest"
But the element I did not expect
Was you behind bars
For countless years
Tears for days
And fears only serve to
Dismay
I replay the words of that night
Frightened sometimes to turn on
The light
Truth remains
I love you in ways
I never imagined possible
