i sit alone in this empty room again
wishing
just holding myself together
all the pieces of my life that are now
missing
why
you couldn’t stay
why
we didn’t say it when
as lovers or as friends
when caring for each other became
the weight that pulled us under
and not the moonlight dancing on
the surface of the sea
that night
when we swam away from shore
whispered promises and believed
we would stay and float away forever
now no more
