hello to yesterday;
wake up and say good morning
work days ways;
gentle was the night –
when the moon shone bright!
these bouquets of flowers
aren’t gonna rebuild what was torn down/
break apart
concrete driveways
and pea gravel pathways;
i wont
because you did
i wont
because we broke
maybe
maybe i just didn’t
put the “and” between
you and me
//
it’s been awhile
but nothing really has changed
broken heart sinks and the disappearing dream blinks
the sharp shattering of a soul full of hope;
and yet i still stand
//
maybe
ill wake in the morning,
stretch and yawn.
shave my face till the dream cuts and bleeds out
//
ill shower and let the hot water wash away the work day
dry myself off and sit naked on the couch;
putting the gun in my mouth
and let all the thoughts and memories splatter onto the wall
//
if you ever wonder where i am
don’t ever think twice
i’ll be gone but here hiding
i’ll be here, still thinking of you
i’m here, still thinking about you
//
