emptiness.

I miss--



belonging.






it turns out home
was exactly what I remembered,
and now I'm not sure where

I want to spend the night.








I miss
being new.




because when everything is changing,
it's easier to remember to breathe,
to remind myself that

this too shall pass




and now I'm sitting on someone else's sofa,
dreaming of feeling awake,
painless;


but these are the dreams that don't come true.
