PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

In retrospect,
I look back at each line
Each carefully placed lie
and find the air around me electric
sucking the life out of lightbulbs
everynight
It has gotten expensive, loving you

Half the time I am in remission
Like you are some kind of disease
infiltrating me

Dont you know,
I have been watching how
your smile goes brighter without me
How that day on the rock you
were so completely happy
with your shoes off

It made me feel uneasy
closing my legs
tightly together
like I was dirty

I have to stop it
and declare a war on you

We've got to put this to rest

darling

and take ourselves home, alone

I am not sure which hurts less,
a heaving train

or letting go.
