A Poem

Trying to write

But the toxic slime

Of my mind is intruding

Thoughts

The thought of you

Being gone

So far away again

Here I sit

Trying to write

To finish this book

But whenever I look anywhere

I look for you

Where are you now?

What are you doing?

Are you thinking the same thing?

Or are you too focused on your business

No one will ever bear witness

To this pain inside

True feelings hidden away

Forever they’ll stay

It will be easier

When you’re away

No longer accessible

I wanted you here

Now I can’t stand it

Life is a bandit

Abandoned

And set adrift

To live alone

Too many houses

But not enough homes
