Courage abandoned me
as fear carved out my insides
it took the road less traveled
veins and arteries
devoid of blood
for my heart had long ago ceased to beat
the only rhythms of life
trapped in my head
recalling a time
when my feet knew the songs and the steps
and weren’t too afraid to dance
The rumble of the thunder reminds me
that I used to be fierce
I felt the fire in my belly
and I was strong and unafraid
How long has it been now
since I was that person
I can’t recall
She still resides within me
and rears her head
now and then
only to disappear again
when the anxiety returns
“Leave now,” she said, “before I grow accustomed to your voice saying my name.”
“Leave now,” she said, “before I miss the weight of you in the bed and your hand upon my hip.”
“Leave now,” she said, “before we have a song we always dance to in the kitchen when it comes on the radio.”
“Leave now,” she said, “before I miss the feel of your lips upon mine and the smell of you upon my skin.”
“Leave now,” she said, “before we have jokes between us that no one else understands, and shared secrets.”
“Leave now,” she said, “before you make me believe in love and possibilities and tomorrows.”
“Leave now,” she said, “before you break my heart.”
Still histrionic, still a bookwhore; just faking competence because of my kid.
i've choked on my words for far too long
It's not the length of life, but the depth.
This is my mind, it’s not supposed to make sense.
