Thorny Poetry - 28. Words

When I returned to GA after being gone for two years, I found that other people had left while I was gone. I don't know why or where they went, or if they'll ever come back again. This poem is for one of them; a beautiful soul who wrote me love poems, and whom I sorely miss.

you wrote for me

words

so many beautiful

words

 

and i

rewarded you by vanishing

i did not mean to go

to throw your love

back in your face

i just

couldn’t stay

 

and it wasn’t your fault

it wasn’t your

words

your many beautiful

words

 

it was all my own fragility

 

i vanished

hid away in shame

because i couldn’t find my

words

they wouldn’t come to me

and so i fled

and i left you behind

 

now that i’ve returned

you are gone

and i don’t know where you went

you took all your

words

with you

 

all but the ones i have, the

words

you wrote for me

 

so now i look at them

i read your

words

and remember
