Unfinished Thoughts

Listen I loved you,
I love you.
The light in your eyes seemed to fill my empty space.
You were there for everything.
You were my everything.
I tried to be strong and say you could leave.
Today is my last day of my high school career.
In two days I will walk across a grand stage
and cross into young adulthood.
With this impending event
Is a feeling of numbness
that I can't really describe.
My thoughts are indescribable.
Words and phrases and sentences, paragraphs and ideas
all mixed into one square box of nothing.
Scrambled with cheese from the dairy of other people
because they don't know when to
If I were a bird I'd perch on apartment windows.
listen to sweet small talk and lustful conversation.
I'd fly close to the sea for moments
to challenge my amateur wings.
By day roam the cities.
Seeds in a towering woodland,
All my thoughts are lost.
Waiting for me to understand,
But at what cost?
I woke up on the kitchen floor
Lying in a heap
I wipe away sleep
Mornings like these
I’d much rather weep
Linoleum is tiresome
and cold to my cheek
