| I've been watching pieces of my heart
disintegrating upon impact with the atmosphere of the world, in which you've left me behind. I've been trying to find solace, within the arms of other women,- but I've instead found none in their incontinence of will. Every window that I walk by seems to carry a reminder- of you, whether a painting, a song, a word, or even simply the color blue. Even watching the squirrels scampering, or the racooons,- seems to have lost its luster. I watch them skip and skitter and turn this way and that, and yet somehow instead of filling me with glee, it only makes me feel more distant. The waves of lake Michigan no longer crash and roar in synchrony with my heart, and as I hear their breach upon the rocks but 20 feet away, they seem to be falling 5000 miles away, upon the heart I left in Hawaii- with yours. |
