After the longest two months
My mind still races without reprieve
They all say it will be better;
“You were so right to leave”

There were far too many challenges
I was opposed at every moment
My autonomy had vanished
This became my daily torment
We came and went, then came again
Rebuilt to be reburnt
Cut to Ultimatum February
Nearly everyone was hurt

I thought things would be easier
Since we’ve sung this song before
But all I do is toss and turn
I can’t sleep without you anymore
Call me stupid, there’s a weakness in me
I love the love that makes me numb
My “better” life just isn’t home
You may still be the one

Although you are gone
Your collar still smells like you
After all this time
Haiku

All these #friends
And I've never
Felt more
Alone
My circle gets smaller and smaller these days

Band-Aids cannot fix
All of our deepest wounds
Or our broken hearts

Anabel
love walks in
sits down at the kitchen table
and vomits up its breakfast

love goes outside
lights a cigarette
and waits for the last star to die

When they ask me
"How's it going?"
It's all I can muster
Without falling apart
