Taking a long overdue mental health vacation. I will check in when I can.
I wish I could be a bigger person,
I wish I could wish you well,
But I honestly hope
Every song, every note
Every poem, every joke
Every love that we wrote
Every word that we spoke
All the fields and the flowers
The horses and trees
Lake days in hammocks
And warm summer breeze
Museums full of art
That we promised to see
The places we’d travel
The people we’d be
The wild and rural
And alien things
Everything cosmic
And butterfly wings
The taste of witchcraft
That our lips used to bring
Obsidian stones
And tiger’s eye rings
My well-loved guitar
With even more well-loved strings
Every blank canvas
Still begging for art
Like ink spilled and etched
Ever deep in our hearts
Like the anchors forever
Skin deep in our arms
If you ever do find
A more permanent remedy
I wish you pure happiness
That brings back every memory
That at one point in time
You had me entirely

I know how you feel Hannah but I could never express it as beautifully as you do here. Nice work indeed.
Aww thank you friend, I'm sorry you relate though!
Ambivalence, Hannah? I want to turn that into two separate pieces:
Top and tail (top and bottom) as one short sharp rebuke, while the body stands alone as a rich tapestry of experience.. (that's just for me, though - take not the slightest notice.)
PS: For an absentee you are very present - thankfully.
To be honest I actually thought of that for a brief moment, I just might take your advice.
And yeah, I initially took a brief hiatus from social media altogether and will return to that shortly most likely. I guess you could say I had to get lost in some poetry for a few more days... Just wanted to leave that message before the semester kicks into high gear.
Good to know I was almost missed 🙃
Yeh................ almost.....😊
Awwwww that was almost sweet 😊
There's nothing but sweetness and light in me, dontcha know... and if you manage to believe that, it is all too easy to see how you might have had some teensy relationship difficulties occasionally..... 😊
I do see it, and I greatly appreciate the recommendation by the way. I made edits and it works much better.
And yes, just a teensy bit... A lot of what I published here was not written recently. But the more sassy ones, since the "you" involved would rather watch from afar, and knows where to find my poetry... Shade is definitely being thrown, in a very particular direction... 😎
I will say, I was recently served a hefty slice of humble pie, which you will see coming shortly.
All awaited with anticipation, Hannah - in the meantime, take care.......
Lovely words 🙂
Thank you yellowrose 🙂
