She smiles,

With that wistful look,

Her eyes alive, and bright,

And glazed.

She takes my hand,

Gently,

With purpose and,

Continues to smile.

She looks away,

But keeps my hand,

Caressing,

Me, silently accepting.

She nuzzles,

Into my shoulder,

The way she does,

I kiss her cheek.

She rests her head,

Upon that shoulder,

I take c...

I never thought,

I’d change my mind,

I was sure,

I was done,

I’d taken back, I closed the door.

I guess I wanted,

You to fight,

You to want,

To change your mind,

About our life and what it meant.

Then you were honest,

And I was happy,

We spoke our hearts,

We reconnected,

Resolved to fight but never mask

And here we are,

Freshly launder...

I was gentle,

I was kind

I was honest,

I bore in mind,

Your feelings

When I spoke.

I resolved to fight,

For the remnants,

Of our friendship.

I gave space to breathe,

And breathed myself.

Kept my distance.

Tried to help.

But you want to talk.

And now I’m left defending,

The decision that I made,

As I’ve don...

Tired sagging eyes.

Bed soon.

I must.

Go.

But every time,

I try.

I think

Not.

Tomorrow will come.

I know.

Will not.

Wait.

Tired sagging eyes.

Bed soon.

I must.

Go.

But every time,

I try.

I think

Not.

Tomorrow will come.

I know.

Will not.

Wait.

In an instant,

I question

everything.

My self-worth.

Do I measure?

Up to him?

For her?

Questioning.

My self-validity,

Am I needed?

Am I wanted?

Will I be missed?

Questioning.

My self-love.

Am I someone?

Who deserves my love?

Who deserves another’s?

Questioning.

My self-guidance.

Where do I go?

Blinkering lights.

Dar...

An uneasy thread,

Thoughts do feed,

Silence becomes sound.

Whispers,

Constant Whispering.

A ringing in my head.

Hearts devour.

Longing grows with feeling.

Senses needing.

A chance,

From here to there,

And the no where in between.

Cold,

But full of warmth.

Dirty but always clean.

To take a hand.

To hold a heart.

To be in ha...

I tried to build,

On fraught foundations.

I tried not to rush,

But battled impatience.

I waited to see,

When she’d let me in.

If we were my future.

If she was our present.

And were things good?

And were things true?

Or were things fixed,

And broken too?

When all is given.

When all is done.

All is all,

We can give to some.

I change...

Throat burns.

Heart yearns,

For an extra breath,

Or time to rest,

Before the mess that is my face,

Sweats profuse, to keep my pace

I pound the street,

With feet worn out,

Without the grace I wish I had,

To satisfy my conscience mind,

That wishes all this pain just would,

Transfer to my looks.

But all that people see in me is a huff puffed train,

That wis...

The hum of the computer,

And keys typing at sporadic intervals.

My head hangs heavy.

I think of the weekend, of the fun, of the calm.

Of the many possibilities and the few that were taken.

Trying to think but not quite making it,

Trying to smile but not quite faking it.

The squeak of a door,

And the footsteps that tread seemingly quiet corridors.

My eyes feel d...
