TOMORROW

Confusion owns me 

like the web of a spider

Life seems to have
a sense of humor

Timing so wrong
on so many things

He owns my heart
like a vice 
too tight
I can’t breath
—-
But I long for him
I shake my head
on a regular basis
trying to get clarity

I hear people make 
sounds with their mouths
but can’t understand the words

My mind is filled with him
just him

Like the air in a helium balloon
so full of thoughts
they lift me out of the room
---
My thoughts haunt me

Did I walk away from 
the best thing in my life

or escape from 
the worst nightmare
I could imagine
—-
I write to him in invisible letters
they never get on the page

Instead I tell of common events 
of the day

Afraid to say
how I feel

He once was mine
but I ran like Julia Roberts
in “The Runaway Bride”

I want to bring him 
my shoes and nail them
to the ground 

So he sees I can stay 
some day

When I learn to trust
—-
Feels like an endless book
want to flip thru the chapters
get to the end to see what happens
but I can’t

I have to let it unfold
as it will
and try to hold 
onto my sanity

Find ways to look outside of the pain
so I don’t drown in the sea of endless sorrow

"There’s always tomorrow" claims
the famous song in the show “Annie”

Hope she’s right.
