Colorful autumn leaves are often admired

Until winter rears its ugly head

They fall without restraint, blissfully unaware that upon them others will soon tread

Left crushed, brittle, and wondering what transpired

I forgive myself for wishing and waiting

The wanting, the aching

The pleading prayers of desperation

Spoken in a sorrowful falling intonation

I forgive myself for being a shell of the person I was before

No instruction manual is given on how to reset and restore

When I fall into a pit of grief that feels much too deep

I will use the hope of a less daunting tomorrow to lull myself to sleep

When there was we

I gave it all freely

but now there is only me

And I need it back

You kissed my lips like you knew me

What a relief it is that you never will.

You drifted into my life like an August breeze that left before the September rain came.

I wanted you so badly that I forgot about what I needed.

You wrote me into your story with a dull pencil

One that had no point

I doodled hearts with your name in blue pen

You brushed me off like eraser shavings on a school desk

Swept my hurt feelings onto the cold, hard, floor

To you I was #2

But to me you were #1

Thinking about your false promises gives me lead poisoning

Like plumbism

You have left me symptomatic

Irritable and nauseous

Your kisses once cherished and desired

Only leave a bad taste in my mouth now

You can try to erase me if you want

but I continue to exist like a permanent tattoo

And I exist even more now that I’m away from you.

A.D.

Healing is hard when you just keep getting hurt.

It takes everything in my power to not say I miss you

I could pretend not to care, but what good would that do?

All anger flees when I recall the kind words your sweet lips said

The way you cherished me, both publicly and in bed

The memories taunt me like a siren song

Sweeter than honey, but never for long

Once lured into stormy seas

I curse your name in vain as I drown, knowing you’ve disappeared again with utmost ease
