i hate this tumult of emotion this primordial cordial of something and maybe and never and could be. it is dark  chocolate bittersweet and sour as it pools on my tongue and slithers down down into my throat and lodges there solidified into a churning mass of it will never be the same and regret and guilty relief. A single loss of gilt jewel  and a single loose word spilled  from a mouth and a cog is thrown  out of orbit and into the dissonance that it has caused. a decision made logically but painfully with a wound that thuds slowly, knock knock knock against my chest not acute, no more like  a bruise  a reminder that i am not as mournful as i should be and that change, that hated, cursed change,  has occurred.

change is inevitable but sometimes painful
