Anywhere I go, you’re with me too.
Between my heart and my head,
Choosing you was never a battle.
Despite the fact they fight, over
Every. Little. Thing.
For some reason, you
Gave them something to agree on.
Half the time you lift me up.
In my moments of doubt,
Just the thought of you creates a smile.
Killing me slowly is what you do,
Loving you the other half of time.
Mostly because, really, you are
Not here. You left, long ago.
Only memories and melodies
Put you back by my side.
Quitting you is like cigarettes,
Reaching for you when I need
Something to break through the sadness,
Touching nothing but cold, empty air.
Us. I remember us.
Vivid, your image in my head.
When it felt like the whole world was two bodies intertwined.
X, is all you are now. X lover, X partner, X friend.
Yet my head and my heart still agree.
Zombie. That’s what I am now; aimless, without purpose, without you.

I First Saw Him
When I first saw him sitting on the wall, relaxed and looking out over the water, I was sure he wasn't a local. Not including children, there are only about 250 or 300 of us in this area full-time, though that number is ten-fold in the summer, and I know everyone at least by sight or by family resemblance. And yet, the way he sat looked familiar and started my mind sorting and discarding among the families I knew, not quite like this one, not quite like that one.
