4/12/17

4/12/17

 

She said she moved across the countrey to

Get away from her sister

They got a divorce and it was

Against her beleifs.

Against God.

I told her firmly

That i empathized

How it must be hard to move across

The world, to pack up everything

Just for your morals

She said she and her husbamd moved in with the ex husband her sister

And that the whole family besides herself

Supported her sister.

I said that must be hard.

Then when she loved me

Knew i understood.

I promptly told her i was polyamorous.

That my lover moved to ireland

To live with her husband

Packed up everything

And how hard that must be

and She did not flinch

I held her as she cried on my shoulder

She in the fifteen moments I saw her

Realized there is a whole world of differences

She can find comfort in when she is alone

She never once knew what I thought of her

Morals

How In my family we have divorce celevrations.

How ending is always a new beginning

How you can love amd still realize that a forever is going to make you miserable

Or never having a baby will **** you

Or being ***** every night is going to torture you

Even if the abuser is your own husband

I worry for her safety.

A woman who doesn't beleive in the word stop.

Doesn't consider leaving

Or letting go

I could never trust someome like that.

I would never be able to see them without feeling regret.

There is no words for the sorrow I place in that body of theirs.

And it is not my place to change it.

But I can tell them how happy i've been

Letting go someone I love, forever.

Not because We are unhappy.

Just because it was time for them to go.

Tell her how I still love them.

How i miss them every day, but it does not depress me.

It enlightens me.

Tell them of all my happy memories

libraty labrynth where she made me look her up with the dewey decimal system

Ice skating and backwards buttwiggles

Every time we stayed up late and I whispered that she existed.

Because even I wasn't convinced.

Now that she's left.

I'm still not.

 

But I will never forget either of them.
