Little Queer Brown Heart


Little Queer Brown Heart

tremble and struggle
tug at those ropes that bind you
Loosen them up so that they may one
day be let completely free.
This little queer brown heart of mine
has loved you so--
for such a long time.
Its only known you, and only you, for so long.
It's been filled with:
love of your being
angered by your demands--
and its own half met.
Scorned by not letting it gain entry to
your small circles of unity.
Jealous at the idea that it wont be
your object of devotion.
Empathetic because another little heart--
will have its place.
But more than anything...
Apologetic for not fulfilling those
hopes and dreams you wanted from it.
