Are you safe?
Are you nally free? Of me,
Of the games,
Of the ghts,
The battle cries, The tears,
The scars,
The pain.
Are you nally free?
Don’t worry about me.
As long as you are happy,
I will be ne,
Even if I’m not right now.
I still remember the rain,
The warmth of the covers as we slept, A pile of boots and shoes by the door, The scent of your skin,
Amadeus Goodwin
As we kept each other whole.
I’m sorry you don’t remember that. It’s unfair of me to bring that up
I tried again.
I died again.
Each e ort I made
Only burned me again.
I’m not like you.
I’m not enough, in a way— You won’t understand
Are you home?
Let me live with my regrets. I’m still here,
But she is there.
Now just a memory
Like you, but not the same. You are here.
We are gone.
