Waking up without him,
in an apartment that still doesn’t
feel like mine has only gotten
harder.
Many of my days begin
with tears or a slight panic attack
just remembering I won’t
get to see him.

I never fell out of love.

This winter will be a lot
colder without you.
I’ll have to double up
on sweaters and
pull the covers up to my nose.

early autumn hint
faintest cool northerly breeze
whispered he's coming

I don’t have anything new to add
that hasn’t already been said.
But all the cliches are true.

I beg the moon to bring you back
to me whenever I see it’s face.

Sometimes I want to run away,
get as far as possible but never stop
running.

I can’t listen to music without crying,
at least a little, because all I hear is
your voice.

And everything, the whole world,
has lost so much color.
It’s hard to feel vibrant anymore.

It feels like I don’t know you anymore.
You’ve become a different person,
but I am still the same.
We went out into the wilderness together
but then you left me to fiend for myself.

It’s hard to explain
why receiving a voice memo
of a **** was a kind thing for him
to do.
The best I can say is,
he thought of me and an
old joke he did once before.
And at this point just knowing
he thinks of me is enough.
Chameleon Sep 2019
I think maybe tomorrow
I’ll just stay in.
There’s too much trouble beyond
my front porch.
Land mines and black holes,
snakes and fires and too much
broken glass.
It’s better to peek through the curtains.
