i don't care about getting to know
those exhibiting the warning signs.
all i've ever known is how to stay behind.
left alone to understand how easy i am to leave.
it should alarm me, but it only calms me.
preminitions of goodbye lay next to me at night
in the spot you told me, 'this is forever."
i look over and you're nowhere in sight.
Your words, so
Your words, so delicate."..how easy i am to leave.."
After Thoughts
Resignation is easier each day
each hour, each second
emptiness is a verb.
The walls are louder than
the sounds you once made
and no longer make.
.
Trees whisper your name
that is engraved on the pillow
beside mind where no head
rests, where no body
slumbers.
