I should have known a lot of things

Folder: 
2019

I suddenly sit

here thinking is it

really so far if

it doesn’t hurt my feet

to walk there, I

should have known

by the way

you looked at

me.

 

I should

have known how it

would feel to lose. Lose

a race, lose you, lose

me. Is it

really so bad

not to want, not to

have a clue who

I am or what I’m

doing, just

to want things to stay

the same?

 

I should

have known a lot of

things, like heartbreak

before it hit

me. I should

have known how fast

this wind would

carry me. Will

you hold the bravest

rarest most fragile

parts of me even when

they don’t look like

love?

Loss

Melancholia has beset 

me again, shattered

remembrance again, lightly 

transformed each breeze

that scrapes past skin

into stillness and loss

becomes vacuousness.
