Finding Peace, Hope, and Joy… day by day
It gets pretty
awkward
inside my mind
and heart
I search for
the source
of brokenness…
originator(s)
of this mess…
& I see
innocence and ignorance
Both of those, plus pain…
all around me
the faces of
so many people
who tried
their very best
to love me.

Never said goodbye;
just sort of faded away…
Our shadows still speak.

Know this, and remember:
He’s not the only one
who’ll ever see you.
He’s not the only one.
Please, don’t go on believing
He’s the only one.
He’s just the only one
you can see right now.
If he doesn’t make you feel loved
the way you deserve to feel loved
If you spend time and energy
Puzzling over him
Trying to make him okay enough…
Walk away.

where will he meet me
if I never step outside
this icy fortress?

My thoughts
reach out
to find you,
and come back
empty-handed.
I wonder –
Will I miss
missing you
once I’ve let you
fade away?

& they ask us why
we don’t want to fall in love
– wounded from the fall

I still don’t
understand
your disappearance
but I refuse
to waste time
wondering
I won’t
give breath
to the question
of whether
you were real

& it seems so dangerous…
so horribly risky
letting someone fill the space…
because — if they don’t stay
(even if you know
they need to go) —
the space they leave behind
seems much more empty
much more hollow…
& somehow
more permanent
than the space
before they came.

To those of you
who’ve lived abuse –
If you’ve ever
thought back
& asked,
“Was it really
so bad, after all?”
I can tell you:
It was.

& you have to
let go
because
he can’t know
that you
need him.
