I’ve Learned; Heaven
I told you I was going to heaven
and all you could do was say
you wanted to stay
to eat the souls of the living.
The souls of all those
who couldn’t find their way
towards heaven…
Like a fish
you were willing
to swim in the abyss.
As the light consumed my mind
I did not go.
Like a bug who goes to the light
I put up a fight
like the insect who died
by going to the light
I used that reasoning
to not go that night.
I didn’t trust it
all the while
looking at the sun
with my bare eyes
as if it was normal
and I knew that couldn’t be right.
I’m still not sure
what you wanted me for
except maybe I was ready
to move on…
to let go of everything
except some were holding on
to me.
Now I know it’s not about letting go
but it’s about needing others to let you go
in the end.
Even the love from your dog
can save you
The love of your mother
can bring you back
and just like that
I was brought back.
Heaven will have to wait
I was so close to the gate
but for now
I’ll bring back what I found
because for others
it can be profound.
