Hello

It ain’t me

By Jaclyn Gilbert Published 4 years ago 1 min read

I saw your face

Etched in the sky, and thought to myself, “I wonder why?”

See I peeled you off my energy

I burned away the chemistry

And yet you still think you can phase me?

I walk around and see numbers and shapely clouds only to look within and see that space still therein.

It took me days, it took me months but whatever had happened eventually faded to dust

It was all that was your wanting, yes?

A lost soul swimming all alone til it’s weakened heart gave out just to make you feel whole?

I opened up and poured from me into you to help you feel better, youcan blame naivety...I didn’t have it in me to set healthy boundaries.

But there is still reason why your face showed up in the sky.

Is it to taunt and play like a spider or maybe be truthful instead of a liar?

I used to wish I knew that

I used to dream I knew but

The clock ran out and I thought truthfully,

not everyone believes “Honesty is the best policy.”
