2He
when it became clear as good well water what we had - and never really did except for what was born of imagination - was over i had to let it go
all of it
i became an arsonist of love incinerating every dream - for that's all there ever was - with icecold deliberateness determined to live without the crutch of fantasy i set fire to my soul
and stood back and watched it burn
now that my inner landscape is a funeral pyre of feathered ash i am a mass of helium inert without color scent or taste not yet weighted by the yoke of reality yet despite that conflagration bits of memory resurrect
and when they do
i sleepless slave to habit rise from my coffined bed floating down to the cafe where we spent far too many midnights it's after hours locked deserted i drift alone in moonlight gazing through the window near the table where we sat
no one sits there now
i am weightless there is an emptiness like that of the space left when a tooth is lost there is no pain no need for analgesic just an awareness that so much of me is gone
yet i don't regret your going ~ copyright 2015 RC deWinter
