My Daily Medicine -or- Divination

My Daily Medicine
-or-
Divination

You lied to me:
You daily relief,
the one that comes
in folded stories-
fact and true.

You told me:
love is on the horizon,
just knocking at my door:
the one
without the knocker.

I told you:
"I believe you",
and I sat by the portal:
the one
you said would sound.

I wasted a day:
and I still love you,
because:
you let me live
without choice.

-Matthew Koutzun
