I’ve become well acquainted with grief.
I’ve kissed anger on the mouth
and shaken acceptance’s hand.
I wasn’t prepared for wonder
or self-doubt to be in attendance
arriving late,
staying long past their welcome.
Hand in hand,
asking the questions that break my heart again:
Was it real?
Was I ever enough?
Was I just something to do,
something to hang up when you were finished?
Did it ever matter to you at all?
Love shifted quietly into tears
long drives,
lonely nights.
Wondering.
Searching.
Searching for a place
that feels like home again.

On the day before you left, you smiled so brightly as you left my car.
The sound of that smile echoes endlessly inside the chambers of my heart
On the day you left, you gave me jumbled words and glassy eyes,
Images of those eyes are still so vivid on the canvas of dark nights
On the day after you left, memories seiged my mind,
And as I lay there a lifeless form of tear and regret, the truth came over me,
You molded an anchor of lies on our feeble ship,
They anchored us on a great shore, but at last great waves have swept us away
