People have their own lives,
Updates become a due,
Death cuts down all time,
Then time must move on, too.
Offers of help get quieter,
(Thankfully in a way):
Sympathy visits for moments
It doesn’t intend to stay.
In the end, it’s always you,
While everyone falls asleep;
You lie awake and breathe
And dread to dream too deep.
Dreams terrify me!
You enter with different names
And my mind uses them
To play terrible games.
I’m tired; because i’m hounded
By the hours of sleep I get.
(And trust my heart:
It just really wants to forget.)
Weary, worn out and wasted,
Tears have long since dried;
But the emptiness alone,
Reminds me I haven’t yet died.
I saw you, day before,
Moving on, on some dating app;
You looked good; I smiled;
I didn’t fall into some anxious trap.
After ten months, I thought,
I have begun to let go –
But now I fear my mind
Keeps secrets it doesn’t show.
I know now that nothing
Was what seemed about you;
And yet, last night, as I slept,
I dreamed about you.
