My Riposte
Breakup Nonet, Inspired By Em
*
Sleepless in the dark, pressures pounding
Perfectionism weighs me down
Time to dismount this monkey
So my successes count
Breakup with this ghost
That keeps haunting
My riposte….
Take me

Our Song
Evening has given way to night. Gently, I settle next to you on the comfortable, old love seat and reach for your hand. You snatch it away, again. It cuts me to the quick, but I hide the pain, understanding that the reaction is but part of your demented state. Since the accident, your presence here in our cozy home has been clouded by a haze I can't see. Nevertheless, I feel the frigidity of your expressions and it serves as an excruciating reminder of the immeasurable distance between us.
