when paid in full

when paid in full

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

when paid in full


overdue you,
there will be fines to pay

a contrition of kisses tendered
embraces in tandem

the waiting,
love's hour, confined minutes
into anticipation's bank note

something borrowed,
the lien on my heart----

you are the balance.

But are we ever paid in full? It seems to me we're forever wanting more maybe we keep it mortgaged that's why the interest keeps getting high...

The lien on my heart...
such a dangerous position to be in for the debt may never be payed and the heart lost forever.

There is always that one person...the one who stole a piece of your heart. Is the balance ever really paid off? I wonder. Lydi**

so true...Lydi...the balance never seems to go down...too much interest to pay i guess.

Ah and being overdue is such a struggle but there goes the stress and the anxiety when all comes into the clear. And as it grasps you in its arm, there is nothing else to pay towards as now you wish to owe once more.
