Sometimes it takes two to be Alone

You are alone now and the curtains are drawn and the sun is shining outside and you will not see it for days.

You are alone now and trying to be stronger than you have any right to be 

You are alone now and waiting for the moment when even though you are alone, you do not feel it as much. 

You are alone now and looking for a way through the grass and the reeds and the ghosts and the sound of the crickets and the sight of me leaving. 

You are alone now and haunted by the past and what was and what could be. 

You are alone now and wondering where the time went and who it went with. 

You are alone now and your fingers are alone and your breath is alone and now you can get everything you wanted to do done and tick everything off the magic list you said you had, the one you said will eventually make you happy. 

You are alone now and trying to define the exact moments you miss, the slow movement of someone else’s hand across your skin that you keep coming back to. 

You are alone now and your hand touches empty air when you move it, to remember.

You are alone now and now you can do everything you couldn’t do with me, except be with me. 

Because I am alone now, too.

Fortitude

Did you think I would hurt forever?

This is what survival looks like.

Untitled.

How light this anchor

feels,

how strong the

current.

You Cannot Create A Monster And Then Condemn It

With every storm you brought over the years,

First the window panes shattered.

Then the paint peeled.

then the cement wore out.

And when I asked you to call me home, 

you reminded me that I was only a building that deserved to wait.

Guilty

With you, I do not just smile. I

 glow.

With you, I do not just cry. 

I pour.

Without you, I don't just yell. 

I burn.
