I'm okay but I'm not okay.

[darkmeetslight]

It feels like all the years

Spent together

Was just a fragment of my imagination

You were there

But not quite here

Maybe time has re-opened

What was once healed.

People like you when your happy

But I’m not

Chronically crippled

By uncontrollable crying

Mourning

Morning after morning

I’m left for lamenting losses

That feel life-sized

I am too soft

My sensitivity my saboteur

A scape - goat for gutting me

For giving me grief

For grieving

I find myself again

Friendless and

In a fog

The search party stopped searching

[ameliaroses-posts]

Unbecoming times

Filed with whiskey bottle

Rhymes

Letters you forgot to send

Wishing there was an end

To this melancholic trend

Of lies beneath our teeth

No one ever expresses their

Grief.

I’d be lying if I say I did

I recede and close this lid

No one wants to hear the bad

We’d rather smile

And say “I’m glad.

This dungeons always finds me

In my mind till perfect timing.

Death is only a joke for two

That keeps feeding

More than it

Consumes

Twined lines

That define

Your will to

Live

Maybe just forgive

The threads

Of once said

Death is only a joke for one

But which is,

Less fun?

“Are we dreaming? Do I have only to pronounce a certain name, so that everything will come together, small miracles will happen, and I will be drawn deeper and deeper into an enchantment? The stars sing, it is a high whirring sound; I will not try to convince anyone, but we heard it that night.”

— Christa Wolf, from Cassandra: A Novel and Four Essays, trans. Jan van Heurck (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 1984)

“I imagine poets stitching the world together. Long silver threads of text. Lines prompting reading, dreaming minds not to see every thing by itself and separate, but to see the seams often unseen in the dark expanses across space and time. This is, perhaps, a kind of sorcery. A power not to wield, but to hold. To practice holding.”

— Ellie A. Rogers, from “Movements,” Ecotone: Reimagining Place (Fall/winter 2017)

You know most people say walk a mile in my shoes, I'd like to say spend a day in my head.

“When you are attracted to people, it’s because of the details. Their kindness. Their eyes. The fact that they can get you to laugh when you need it the most.”

Why didn't I learn to treat everything like it was the last time. My greatest regret was how much I believed in the future.

In a sense, I'm the one who ruined me: I did it myself.

But just because you're strong and resilient doesn't mean you never need someone to be there for you, to take care of you.
