silence

this working full-time is making me feel odd...
i no longer have the luxury to bring him lunch

snuggling against him: and hearing him rant

it is a compulsion: a serious addiction that
through work, his, not mine, is being tamed

i have even returned to my poems: a thing

that has been in the recesses of my mind
each poem dissipating to the wind as i

watched myself engage in the most humorous

debacles i have had in a long time: he makes
me smile, he makes my tummy turn, my legs

quake, my heart race, and my mind spin: odd

to be alone again
