Release

Sometimes it feels like

There's a lot of pressure

Within.

Sometimes it's a slow burn

Where every sensation becomes 

Exaggerated.


At times the pressure feels like

Almost too much to bear without

Release.

At times it can disperse at

A moment's notice without

Any signs of return.


But it will demand to

Be seen, to

Be felt.

And it will target only

The most sensitive spots.


Sometimes it's takes

Outside help,

A little cinema… 

If you will.


And once it's done,

The world comes back to

Life.

X

Emotions are fluid.
I hope to wield mine wisely
and hang onto youth's whimsical flow.

I wanted to keep laying bricks.

You wanted to lay down.

We agree to disagree.


It feels like a long journey ahead.

I'm climbing an infinite staircase,

But now alone.


It takes two to tango.

I see your strength.

Thank you for binding with mine.


It's time to start anew.

Reincarnated we learn from the past.

I don't want to forget the beauty we forged.


I am not alone.


I understand but

I cannot grasp everything.

Some things will have to be picked up later.


The world preys on the vulnerable.

I should be on my guard until

I grasp the rest of it.


I have support.

My friends stand on-call for me.

Their time is wealth.


You made me better.

I appreciate the time we shared.

I hope meeting again is in the cards. 

The Things I'll Miss

 I'll miss having a familiar place,

A place I can bike to and from,

A place I can seek out.


I'll miss the splatter of toe beans,

The protesting mreows,

And the random cat pictures.


I'll miss sitting on the couch,

Working side by side,

Being busy, but together.


I'll miss going to sleep

With you by my side,

With your arms at my side.


I'll miss oversharing,

You acknowledging my nonsense,

You making me feel seen.


I'll miss knowing you.
