This Lonely Life.

 

 

I thought I was the happiest person in the world.

 

Will I ever get that back?

Always feeling the comfort of knowing you were mine..? No

Need for reassurance, (because I knew you were there.)

Tomorrow. It no longer holds promise for me.

 

Yesterday we had everything!

Offers of forever and fantasies of never fluttered by..,

Unconscious utterings gave me cause for concern.

 

Thoughts of who we were, and where we belonged 

Of what we wanted and how punctuated the air we shared.


Selfish desires kept you with me. [Every dream involved you.]

Hope. It kept me alive, wanting to believe you'd come back to me...

Only, we both know who is better for you, do we not?

'We'. Like it was a decision that we both made...

 

Means nothing now, does it? Marriage is a just a word. Like love.

Expired. Null. Void. I'm a master of pretending.

 

     (...I've already let you go.)

    You let the loneliness flow
    across the page with great
    flair and style. And then,
    the determination...
    "(...I've already let you go.)"

    A strong, melodic interpretation.
    Great use of the form!
