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.

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.
