Things written many moons ago in journals I
left exposed made no sense, just jibberish
I woke up - alone - in a different bed months later, now I understand
To scribe feelings I couldn’t fathom, nor describe why I even had them
I understand now, it’s clear to me, things I felt but I couldn’t see,
I understand now, I get it I get it I get it---
You wrote it all out in a diary, and on a handful
of receipts.
You made it a point to cross your “T”s and
dot your “I”s
Above all else you had to hide---
Sentiments you never said, but you always meant them.
How to deal with the lies that we’ll continue
to instill in ourselves and those who ask the hard questions like, “what’s new?”
It’s been many weeks but I still feel your
shadow cast on me like rain clouds pouring down
Like the skyscrapers over this town.
I hope you’re smiling ‘cause I couldn’t curse the space we share presently, I just have to clean the one that we used to, we used to, we---
I think we met in a past life, it’s good, I guess, ‘cause I already died.
I hope you’re smiling ‘cause I couldn’t curse the space we share presently, I just have to clean the one that we used to, we used to, we used to...
We used to breathe the same air
