poetryblog – Too Far From the Sun

there is no reason to worry.
because every particle moves seamlessly,
the flow is never broken
there are no mistakes or wrong turns.

I think it’s you –
but it’s me I need

I feel movement
deep in my body
like seeds planted long ago
sprouting and searching
for water and light.

I don’t want to be
what I was yesterday.
I am what I am today.

I woke this morning
and my first thought
was “I am whole. I am
magical again.”

but I can’t save you,
I can’t change you,
I could only love you
if that were enough.

let yourself be born again
and rinse yourself with rain

I wish this world never hurt you,
I wish you never felt alone,
I wish you could accept the gifts
being offered to you all along

seeing him come and go
with the beautiful way he hurts you so

Don’t look at me, please.
