Breakup (for Davion)

So it’s over

The gloss of

Newness tarnished by

Weight of baggage

We all drag

Our past behind

Us like mailbags

Filled with bad

News try making

Peace with your

Demons then be

Comfortable with yourself

Only then then

Can you give

Yourself to another

Goodbyes

Oh

Oh I’m so

So so so

Tired of saying

Goodbye

I’m like a

Child that’s lost

A dog or

A teenager that’s

Been dumped by

A varsity quarterback

I’ve closed like

A woman’s compact

For the last

Time

Oh

Oh I’m so

Ready so

So so so

Ready for that

Sweetly delicious hello

Hello

Is anyone there

JustLeave

Forget you I

Wish rather roll

Over until you’re

Gone so I

Can get on

With my life

But remain you

Do occupying my

Bed wishing that

You could forget

Me it us

Instead just one

More awkward moment

Now more naked

Than the nudes

We were before

GamesLove

With chagrin I

Admitted truth betting

Against the house

You called my

Hand forcing me

To show my

Hand then you

Yours we tied

No loser free

To play another

Hand of perhaps

Truth or dare

NowSpring

And so you

Said goodbye but

Was it or

Just a new

Hello to something

New

The old had

Already turned the

Colors of Autumn

Chilled by the

Cold winds of

Winter and now

This new Spring

Brings something that

We were before

Friends
