PLACES I LEFT MY HEART

in the backseat of a car

at the local golf course

in a bar parking lot

in beds

on couches

these are places i thought i left my heart

until recently i realized she’s at

the ballet

book society gatherings

hikes

game nights

coffee dates

sending cards

she’s all alone and surrounded by friends

she’s not where i left my body. she’s been hidden, waiting, patient for years

when your fingers are delightfully stained from weekly food prep

you pray it’s going to be a good week

you never know though

wishes upon prayers

that things function as they should

but you know your only hope is to make it through the week

to the weekend

things are calm and your body can catch up

you feel fresh and want of none

but you still know

those days

or nights

or weeks

will get you

you just want it to be right. function right. why can’t it not hurt. why does one thing have to flare up so many others!!!!

we scream into the void but nothings heard

our faces are flush and we don’t know why

we cannot cry

not for ourselves, only for others

this - where the problems started
