To Where I’ve Come From

I’ll admit as blue as the sky is clear,
That I feel like I know you but I really don’t my dear.
Everyone thinks that you don’t exist but I’m not part of everyone else,
But we both must agree that we shouldn’t listen to their inaccuracies.
Because they don’t know jack about kings and queens,
Clovers, Hearts, Diamonds, Spades,
Red or Black we’re all in attack.
You’ve been with me as far as I can remember.
From dangerous places of grief and pity to insecurities of patches and tears.
They think because I don’t speak of you that you don’t exist.
But I enjoy our little secret. A delusion that is as easy as cake and as tasty too.
They can think what they want because they don’t know our inside joke.
Poke, smoke, choke, or croak.
It’s all good.
We’ll get along through it all, and they don’t need to know.
Because you and I get along through it all.
You’ve stayed by my side though they will never know.
Thank you my mystery for not letting me go, not letting me fall overboard.
Protecting me from their shards and hardships,
I’m safe aboard your arms, your shoulders I climb and hang from for life.
We found one another in the oddest of places.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,
You and I go together like whiskey and vermouth.
Beauty and truth.
They think because I don’t speak of you that I don’t love you as much as him,
It’s our little secret that I’ve journeyed along your side this entire time.
We sit sublime in a dark area, secluded to ourselves that we shall hide in love.
Remain safe in its presence and use it with time to cherish.
I’ve made those sacrifices and am proud you do too.
I may not know you well my babe,
But know I feel you at those vacant times of night,
When night and darkness hug me close,
And your skin holds close to mine,
Beautiful secrets and fragile truths.
