Unresolved

Folder: 
Dedications

Maybe I'm the one that got away.

Maybe I'm your sole regret.

 

Maybe hearing my voice reminds you 

of what was never yours

the same way it reminds me 

of what I lost.

 

I'll never know the truth

because that conversation

is something we can never have.

 

And so it stays unresolved

and incomplete as we move on 

like it never happened 

(what even did happen?)

 

It was a week in a lifetime

that changed everything

and when everything changed.

 

I'm still the same person

you left behind,

the same woman aching for more.

 

I'm a hamster on the wheel,

striving, forever trying 

to be anything...but me.
