have you ever
been saved?
it is bittersweet.
for a moment,
there is confidence,
strength,
preparation,
all behind fear,
loneliness,
pain.
then it’s gone,
because someone,
anyone,
steps in,
says something,
anything;
holds your hand,
holds you
back.
then you’re attached.

or better yet,
have you ever
been to that point,
where you needed
to be saved?

i miss you
and us,
our late night talks
followed with good morning texts;
the smiles,
the laughs,
even the disagreements;
most of all,
the feeling,
weightlessness,
security,
and comfort;
my distraction from the cruelty,
the neglect,
by changing,
improving,
fixing,
showing me beauty,
of the outside world,
and the world within.
