i see you,
and this is no
accident.

where are you going,
disappearing into those crayola-tinted skies,
but no,
i am at the edge of the horizon,
without you.

and that is how it should be,
or perhaps,
the only choice.

love was not our destiny,
forgeting how to exist,
with you,
was the most pain.

the only truth.
This is for my ex.
I lived
a life filled with futility,
where each day faded
into another.

I live
a life filled with moments,
each one humbling me
into sanity.

I will live
a life when I reach out to
others still fading
into oblivion.
when my pride becomes    unbearable
I coalesce into                       nothing.
I rush to You in                     love,
with courage to be                vulnerable.
asking for                               help,
so I can                                     live.
First line inspired by comment by r that pride was unbearable in response to first version of this poem.  Thanks r.  A whole new poem rose out of reworking the first line.
