Clear, midnight sky
Millions of stars overhead
Providing natural light
To the ones needing direction
She makes her way through the streets
In slow stride, no rush to end a beautiful night
Laughter resonates through the air
She smiles, admiring the people
Alcohol fills the air with each breath
She keeps walking
To a destination not yet revealed
As she recognizes a familiar silhouette
He’s revealed by the street light
As he approaches her
She wants to walk away
Yet, her body is in static movement
He’s standing in front of her
With deceitful eyes
Lies living on the tip of his tongue
He smiles, making her almost forget
She doesn’t
He begins to speak
She leans in for a quick kiss on the cheek
Her official goodbye
To the pain he put her through
She looks him in the eyes and begins to walk away
Every step taken provides a fresh tear
She begins to feel relieved
Ready to start fresh
To explore her possibilities
The mistakes that she still hasn’t made
They’re tears of joy now
She feels completely free
Still walking
No real place to go
Giving her feet control of the route she’s taking
It’s such a beautiful night
Clear, midnight sky
Bright stars overhead
Guiding her on her new path

Mama’s Boy
I’ve been a fiancé for four years and three months. We’ve been together for six and a half years total, and we have a two-month-old son together. I can’t help but think that we’ll never get married. We haven’t even decided on a wedding date. When I bring it up, he tries to escape the room as if he’s late for something more important.
