some days i wonder
why you still
remain;
other days
i find comfort
in your
lingering

like a patch of
snow
in the dead
of July -

i dont know
what the ****
youre still
doing here,
but i know
that i am
comforted
by the oncoming
promise of the
cold
halley's comet
comes back around,
but you are not
ethereal enough
to do so
forgivably.
There you go, messing with my heart again.
Do you think I'm here just for your amusement?
I don't exist just so you can come back to me whenever you get bored with whomever you ran off with.
Don't pretend like you want me back when we both know it's not true.
they always said,
"the only one
who will always
be there for you
is yourself",

but ive always thought -
if no one else
cares
about me,
why should i
care
about myself?
she would give her life
for the smallest of these creatures -
a flightless butterfly,
a lame bird,
a mute hound

she waters the withering
and mends the broken,
but she is
dying
all the same
