Feeling like a door falling off its hinges— faith hinging on the day’s events. Eventually, we learn to fall. falling into what ifs; fears, failures, depression, out of friend groups, into feelings — in & out of our dreams ; in & out of love… And just like my bedroom door falling off its hinges— what’s left to hide my shame?

Off the Hinges
You call it distance. I call it silence. We both pretend it’s fine— will time smooth the edges and leave nothing left to say? Will the cracks weld together while the silence still remains? How did a friendship break between us so quickly after it was made? I tell myself not to care. You probably do the same. Should I try to repair this— or should I stay away? I wait for silence to speak first. A little hope remains. Maybe it never will. Maybe I’ll just fade away.
