Hi, How Are You? Who Are You?

Written by:

Make another dent
A tour meeting, disapproved and outbid

We were
broken and still one
Piecing together our fractures
You moved into what you never knew
What you’ve now claimed your own

I sat along the empty beach
The dead sea, salty and crestfallen
She was sighing along with me
Amid a conference of fallen stars and miss you


I miss you
You didn’t think about your options
Should I tell you
You can’t hear me now.

You’re distant
Miles apart from who we were together

A girl I once knew
Now we’re both chains severed by truth
At least it’s the truth you chose
Who you became

This post was inspired by a post written by my friend, John over at woodsy, the performance poet

        Weird as ever sounds about right for me too haha. It’s a mad world. I’m glad you’re good. I’m good, too. Mostly busy with work. I’m trying to get as many hours in as I can so I can save more for finding an apartment or house with Matt . We’re trying 🙂

        I deleted the blog.. I’m just done. And I’m probably deleting the account.

        I’m happy for y’all!

        Like the situation where I commented on your picture.. you handled it awesomely. But some people make me think I’m weird.. or weirder than normal.

        Nah, you’re not . People are just uncomfortable with compliments sometimes. I used to be uncomfortable with compliments when I was younger. I have anxiety but really had it bad then so that’s most likely why in my case. Now I’m comfortable with them more. Figuring out people can be tricky business . Oy vey

    Both chains severed by truth…

    That’s so how it is.

    Funny,
    how the soul I miss the most is so often the soul I never met…

    but who found me anyway,
    here between the lines
    where I am most myself,

    hugging the part of me that never came home.

    Playtime,
    sisters
    and stars,

    lost in negotiation
    as night falls on the park.

      As night falls on the park
      the of the late birds’ sing
      An empty swing creaks

      A soft wind stirs the autumn leaves
      now crunching under our slowly moving feet

        Some connections make the missing more bearable.
