Tossed. Casually-with ease. No second thought? Maybe. But this I won’t ever know. Don’t need to-but want to. That I, human, sensitive, feeling, committed, invested, involved, sacrificed. And you, nonchalant, aloof, robotic, hard- a stone man. Well, that is the tint through which I see you. Once were. What exactly was it in the end? I don’t know. Caught? Convenient? Comfortable? And I, the wilted flower of once was. Memories slipping, falling, petals dripping from a tap left slightly open. As is my heart- slightly open. Healing- but still bleeding. And yours, is it tightly shut? Forever? Seems so. You stone man, with your clamped heart, wounds stitched- no bleeding here. And I, tossed. Casually-with ease. Fresh water, new flowers. One, two, three? And I, waking each morning. Slowly stretching, growing, leaf-arms reaching to the rays which are my hope, my optimism, my little nurse. Slowly. I cannot catch up to you, so quick. But I choose not to. Time is precious and it’s mine. Now, I am not ready. My heart is soft, fragile, gentle. It will be alright, stitched, whole-soon. But now, in this moment, this small stretch of time, it is not. When I feel replaced. Tossed. Casually-with ease.

Stone Man
Tossed. Casually-with ease. No second thought? Maybe. But this I won’t ever know. Don’t need to-but want to. That I, human, sensitive, feeling, committed, invested, involved, sacrificed. And you, nonchalant, aloof, robotic, hard- a stone man. Well, that is the tint through which I see you. Once were. What exactly was it in the end? I don’t know. Caught? Convenient? Comfortable? And I, the wilted flower of once was. Memories slipping, falling, petals dripping from a tap left slightly open. As is my heart- slightly open. Healing- but still bleeding. And yours, is it tightly shut? Forever? Seems so. You stone man, with your clamped heart, wounds stitched- no bleeding here. And I, tossed. Casually-with ease. Fresh water, new flowers. One, two, three? And I, waking each morning. Slowly stretching, growing, leaf-arms reaching to the rays which are my hope, my optimism, my little nurse. Slowly. I cannot catch up to you, so quick. But I choose not to. Time is precious and it’s mine. Now, I am not ready. My heart is soft, fragile, gentle. It will be alright, stitched, whole-soon. But now, in this moment, this small stretch of time, it is not. When I feel replaced. Tossed. Casually-with ease.
