In end I'm surprised
An old habit slowly dies
And beginnings rise
It takes determination but you can beat any vice
Always wait 'till it's gone
Always blind even when taught
Always deaf even when sought

Only looking back at what was
Only pilling bricks on my walls
Only gulping bile in my rue

Coulda had, coulda got
Coulda grabbed, coulda talked
Coulda laughed, coulda loved

Emptied comforts, emptied joys
Emptied rooms, emptied possibilities
Emptied mind, numb false serenity

Only broke up by
Intense flashes of
Sanity.
Disgust.

The History:
I just signed the lease to my first place with the help of a couple angels. Moving always gives me a sense of dread. I guess it's the unknown, the wild, the lack of control that scares me the most. Alas, I am optimistic-ish.

He came back
And said to me
โ€œWould you wanna try again?โ€
But I have her
Even after the heartbreak
Even after the heartache
I still love him
So Iโ€™m stuck in the middle
For him
Or for her
Who should I fight for?

I walk alone down the empty street,
I look at the cars all parked closely to the curb.
Then I see you - a ray of hope in a world of darkness.
Unknowing to all the horrible atrocities that surround you.
You are perfect, not yet broken, not yet flawed.
You are a new beginning; you prove that second chances can exist.
So, as I see you, the little bud coming to life as I speak; I remember this.
Life may not be kind to you.
Life may hurt you.
Life may break you.
But you must not let it change you.
Life is full of unpredictability and surprises, some good and some bad.
But one thing is for sure, second chances exist.
You are proof of this; proof that we can change in time.
Proof that we can have a new beginning.

I picked up a rockย 
from the bedย 
of a rivulet
slowly trickling, yet vibrant

It wiggled
It squirmed
in transparent
vulnerability

A larval miracle
clinging to life
pulled from the mother river
exposed to the cold air

This tiny force
is just as alive
as me
and perhaps more so

I placed the stoneย 
back into the trickle
of the river
hoping it lives

How much compassionย 
do we have for the smallest
of the small
the beginnings

How much compassionย 
do we have for the vulnerable
for what's just beginning to grow
ideas, people

How much compassionย 
do we have
to put the stone back
rather than take it for ourselves
I turn the last page,
The next is blank.

Blank blank blank blank blank
Blank blank blank blank blank
Blank blank blank blank blank
Blank blank blank blank blank

So white it's screaming
So empty Iโ€™m left reeling

The lack of words
A void so loud
I squint my eyes unseeing.

I donโ€™t think Iโ€™m ready yet
I dont think I'll ever be,
It hurts too much to be alone
Is this the price of being free?

Do you know what it's like to lose the thing that means everything?
It's like living without a soul.
But still..worry not
For your soul left in search of the next thing that will become your everything
