my time
polishing broken glass
has come to an end
our farewell speeches;
you know the tone of voice
like reading a confession with a gun pressed to your skull
warding off the waterworks
whenever possible
for one must project some kind of absurd humility
when it comes to closing these things
it is easier after they leave
or when you do
when their visual flair
no longer affects your point of view
when all the scents and curves
are relinquished to memory
many days and nights from now
I will mourn her passing
deal with it in my usual unfavorable manner
toasting myself, there is no longer anyone
to condemn my methods
I am much better off
alone
hollow
broken
free to do whatever I want
though there is little I feel like doing at this moment
other than crawling back to her doorstep
and forgetting
what led me away from it to begin with
