Looking for 
something that 
isn’t there
isn’t going 
to help 
you find 
it maybe 
it was
once maybe 
it wasn’t 
but now 
it’s not 
stop looking 
for things 
and see
what’s been 

I’m a loyalist 
one and done
be it barber
brand or boyfriend 
I don’t shop 
or wander around 
I look for 
find and keep 

The heart is
round the mind
is sharp one 
smoothes and the 
other cuts breakups 
are painful not 
because of the 
heart but mind
eventually the hard
edges of heartbreak 
gives way to 
the hearts smooth
hand and bad
memories turn good 

Like so much 
it’s behind me 
what’s in front 
I know not 
whatever it is 
is not what 
is now behind 
for my eyes 
only look forward 
and what’s behind 
is complete darkness
