Trust Fall

I turned 17 today for the second time in my life.

the fear and shame oppressing every cell in my body…

once again sitting with you.

prodded on by a “did you tell him your plans?”

Birthday Memorial

Today is your birthday.

Again.

365 days have passed since the last one…

so many of those filled with thoughts of you…memories…laughs…reflections.

Until Next Time…

to Rose…

 

You leave today.

Dragging memories and colors behind you.

Glitter on water

and sun-kissed skin sits before you.

Eclipse

I visited darkness today.

not total, yet partial.

an eclipse in my mind,

going through hallways.

Untitled

I walked to school one day,

along the dirt path.

 

It was worn from more than 4 years of travel.

Frequent Flier Miles

The sadness travels.

Across oft-traveled pathways.

Knowing fully the shortest route…

Obeying traffic lights and stop signs.

Letting go

I was thinking of you today.

Thinking of how far apart we’ve become,

Not just physically, but mentally as well.
