And out it came
Like lava from a
Freshly opened fissure spewing
Words and things that
I never knew existed
Until I actually spoke
Years of bridled anger
Of enough is enough
Of the arguments I
Never made of the
Goodbye I never said
Because you left you
Left you left me
Holding all of this
Well now it’s yours
There always was goodness
When we were together
But apart tragedy struck
Both of us differently
And now rather than
Comparing similarities which complimented
Like salt pepper espresso
Sugar Pinot and ribeye
We’re comparing our misfortunes
Stacking one against the
Other trying to see
Who has suffered most
This is what love
Looks like amongst the
Decayed and the dying
How does one tell
Between a blessing and
A curse could one
Be the other depending
Could one have been
But now not really
Do I take this
Up with Heaven or
With Hell can I
Return something that’s slightly
Worn but doesn’t fit
Anymore does anyone have
Love’s customer service number
Right before I step
Forward my past steps
In front of me
The reason why I
Am even here now
It is too late
For your dessert now
It’s on the house
So since it’s free
I’m supposed to what
Indulge maybe over indulge
No my sweet you
Promised to be dinner
And now that I’m
Finished I simply have
No room for you
You don’t know you
Just don’t know how
Many times I pulled
Up but never got
Out you don’t know
How many letters or
How many texts I
Started and then deleted
Knowing that when you
Walked out you walked
Out of us and
Back into only you
I was a stranger now
And if we ever
Should stumble upon each
Other it would be
No better no worse
No more familiar or
No more odd than
The very first time
Sometimes letting people go
Gives them a chance
To come back once
They are ready to
And he was ready
