Faithless Bird

Faithless Bird

Poem by Liana Cass

have you ever spent so long alone
that new love feels like sorrow?
give me the faithless love
the loveless wake of tomorrow

unable to form the words
the lines to my lonely heart’s worries
weeping the tears of a broken child
blur the way your love looks to me
 
i grieve not the person i was
but the person who forgave you
and the person who now looks for you
in every danger’s eyes anew
