Alone

How come I go to sleep with you
yet wake up
alone

Answers

Do not ask
for answers buried deep within
my heart
they have laid there
for so long
unattended
and forgone

Love

I see your love
It stands starkly before me
I can’t reach your love
It hides hidden behind me.

You

When you left
you were right

Ledge

I fled
It’s true
the ground beneath me
was giving way
I couldn’t find a ledge
to help me stay

Complete

Love the outside
of those you meet
it is the only route
to the inside
and a love complete

Even so

Happy now?
you ask
yeah, a little bit
at last
no regrets
about two million and twenty three
still, even so
it’s been a blast
