I write poems

About you in my head

Many will never meet a pen

Or be heard again

I think about your eyes

The glimpse of light

I'd catch in certain angles

And then you'd blink..

Did I really see that

Did I really say that

It wasn't that bad

And that's what I'd say

To protect the next poem

Cos I have more to say

I don't know what or why

Cos even when I try

The only image in my mind

Is that smile

I remind myself that I

Wasn't always satisfied

Often felt alone

Too vulnerable.. to the bone

I often would want more

Then instantly regret

The energy I used

The time that was spent

But when you'd look at me

Sometimes I would see

The other universe

Where neither is cursed

Our meeting is our peace

And we are finally free

But here we are

Tonight I sleep here one more night

So many memories in these walls

I've laughed complained moaned

Lied, been turned off and cried

I've learned and sat silently

I've grown and embraced

A new normal

And new faces

I've kissed missed dissed Dismissed

Not a year has passed

But I saw all the seasons in this house

Entered in summer and leaving in spring

Embracing my new beginning

Diving in

I hope the space

I left behind

You've taken as your own

To fill with your

Hearts desire

I hope it feels like home

We may not meet again

But I wish you all the best

Maybe in the next life

We can pass the test

For it's roots are so deep

A part of me

I vow to bring sunshine

In your time of need

Cos loving you

Is being free

The one before was goodbye

I still don't get why I can't cry

Maybe the wash of humiliation

Overshadows the pain inside

That ebbs and flows all night

Worsened by our separation

Without warning your image

Darts to the front of my mind

I used to seek my imagination

To console and give me a high

To pretend and put pain aside

I put hours in these creations

The lows of your absence

Had me out of my mind

I pray to curb the temptation

That arises when we next meet eyes

If I don't, I'll let out a sigh

Of frustration

Cos I'd be wasting time

But I fret 

That the air 

Has changed 

A new season ensues 

I don't know 

What I should do 

To speak my mind 

Or let it fly
