She wanders with a ponderance
of an unfulfilling existence .
It's like she missed the instance
when life was handing out
purpose. She became subverted
by her own thoughts.
Self-image contorted
like spaghetti noodles or dreadlocks.
The simplicity of existing has become brutal.
She keeps the gold within
vaulted like Fort Knox.
That protection is like an island
preventing her journey's beginning.

i see you,
and this is no
accident.

where are you going,
disappearing into those crayola-tinted skies,
but no,
i am at the edge of the horizon,
without you.

and that is how it should be,
or perhaps,
the only choice.

love was not our destiny,
forgeting how to exist,
with you,
was the most pain.

the only truth.
This is for my ex.

There's something about love that draws a fine line between existing and truly living.
