Right now I feel frozen
Wait
Not frozen.
Life moves on
At a regular pace
But I'm slow and
I'm losing this race
I want to go back to
Where we were when
I said I loved you
And you said it back.

It was all so sudden
Our relationship didn't crumble
It imploded on itself.
And now I'm back
To being alone.
This poem is my
Impromptu apology.

I moved too fast
And now I'm stuck
In slow motion.
Most people think about
Other people that
Make them shout
Meanwhile I'm here
Drowning in self loathing
So tell me this, now
Is it worse to hate everyone else
Or to hate only myself
I've spent so long alone,
that I forget what it's like,
to have a home.
Not like riding a bike,
but, rather, something old.
Without constant reminder,
it fades, lost in the wind.
But something new has arrived.
Someone else, who enjoys me.
'Tis a feeling I have forgotten.
But now I feel... refreshed.
Enlightened. Loved.
Her
I look into her eyes
and I see myself.
Looking back. But better.
Improved.
She is a mirror image of me.
Like a part of my soul
torn away at birth.
That I have found.
My better half.
