Grieve

We do not get to choose how we are loved

no, the only choice we get in life is how we love

Remember me before I forget you

Remember who I used to be

before the reckoning 

Stop and breath today

I am not what you need

Not now

Not like this

A broken piece

       With so much grief crashing underneath everything 

Unwell

     Out of wishes

Bleeding again

This mirror is too clear now

I don’t like my reflection

Empty seats

Unsaid things

The canary sings her warning 

This is the end

The very end of all things

Bleed

            Grieve 

What do you do

   when the person who broke you

tells you

you are too broken to be with?

 . . .

You leave

     Before you bleed out

But I would’ve stayed by her side until the grave?

Then grieve 

        Until you can dream a new dream.
