Why
Why is it so hard for you
To admit when you're wrong?
Why can't you say the two words that
Mean everything
To me?
"I'm sorry".
Would it really be that hard?
Couldn't you do it?
For me?

Doubletime
And then there were two.
Two hearts, two stories.
Two lives intertwined.
Doubletime.
Two angry auras
Flushed with the blue of sadness
And the hue of love, at the edge
Out of the way
Out of reach.

Sick Day
For me there is no greater frustration in the world
Than being sick.
It's a hindrance to your life.
It gets in the way.
Whether a cold, a fever
Strep throat or even COVID

The tree that defines me
When I was little, we lived in Philly. Seven hours from where we live now, eight counting the time allotted for rest stops. And a little ways down the sidewalk from our house was this tree.

Roses
It ended with roses.
I process the funeral in snatches.
Glimpses, even.
I see my family spilling out into the cemetery
Long-lost cousins twice-removed,
Great granduncles,

Toxic
Maybe I lost it one day.
Maybe I was tired of taking it.
I was put in a horrible
Toxic
Situation with horrible
Toxic
People.
There is no out.
I have no choice but to survive the year.

things I learned the hard way
You are not perfect, and that is okay.
Your best isn’t working yourself to a point where you have to sacrifice your mental health to succeed.
Someone cares about you.

This is really goodbye
I've grieved this relationship a million times, a million ways, yet it was always somehow easier because I knew you would come back. I knew how to play my cards so I could be assured that you were hooked as much as I am.

The Road that Remembers
I live for these moments.
Moments that make you forget anything but remember everything all at once.

One More Time
for one more time
i will sit in the same place
as I have for so longfor one more time
i will be the people
i've grown to know
love and hate -
Plans
Planning
Every day
Every chance that is given
Scheduling
Organizing RSVPs
Bugging people to respond.
Talking to the caterer -
We can have bourekas after all -
And studying

That smile
I play for a lot of things.
That smile is one of them.
When we're doing something right
And you take fast four into two
And you're smiling and grinning and in full control
And we're not falling apart
