Reflected back
Hold the picture still
Memories more fluent
Tales of the past
Float to the top
Hurt…
Anger…
Then comes love
When we had it together
When nothing mattered
Puddles of sadness
Staining your cotton
Thoughts of leaving
Paired with bliss
Never knowing
What was the right thing to
Do…
Say…
Be present in these moments
Our relationship needed a reheat
The leftovers were stale
We were both in the opposite sides of right
Never being enough
Pint sized bandaids
In the flavor of mint chip and rocky road
In the end you got the sanity
And I got the heartache

Thanks. It’s actually not recent. I find it easier to write about the past.
i go between the past and the present
