#wherewereyou
I put on earrings today
the ones with the bronze suns
I woke to a blue sky
in winter
Lipstick on my lips
for the first time in 6 years
I laughed at my old fool
reflection
Sighs and forlorn stares
had long graced my view glass
now a clean canvas
before me
Most tentative, the first stroke
such a daunting liberty
my pallet still holds
all the colors
Could one forget how
to see in the mind’s eye
the shapeshifting forms
of the spirit

I watched
As you held on with every breath
I laughed
When you had nothing left
I smiled
At every mistake you made
I stopped
When I saw that I was unsafe
I saw
The thing that hurt you beyond belief
I felt
The blade that cut you so **** deep
I cried
For all the same reasons
I stayed
When you would've made the choice to leave...
