hello dear friend
you've resurfaced
from the depths of the inky
abyss.
you've brought me
a gift?
how kind.
a precious one wrapped in
g o l d papers.
i tear it open
and familiar eyes
yield to my voice.
i speak,
"oh, i've missed you my dear.
i thought you'd gone away."
the mouth opens and
darkness swirls
bringing me to my knees.
i choke back the sobs as
i take a second look.
the black shifts
and i find within it
a new present.
we fly forward swiftly
and i come to
forgive the darkness.
the harsh words on its tongue
forgotten as we mix
together
like we used to.
thank you, old friend.
you've saved me for another day.
xoxoxo.
i love you.
