AFTER THE WRECKAGE
<p><strong>AFTER THE WRECKAGE!</strong></p><p><br/></p><p>I saw you again.</p><p>The ghost I never buried.</p><p>No flames, no tears.</p><p>Just the hollow space where I used to bleed.</p><p><br/></p><p>We spoke.</p><p>Not as lovers,</p><p>Not as enemies,</p><p>But as two casualties of each other’s designs.</p><p><br/></p><p>You smiled.</p><p>That smile, the one that used to unmake me.</p><p>This time I didn’t fall.</p><p>I stood. I was no longer the boy you could bend.</p><p><br/></p><p>I told you what it cost me.</p><p>The months of quiet dissection,</p><p>The nights I pried myself open</p><p>Trying to understand why.</p><p><br/></p><p>You listened.</p><p>Or pretended to.</p><p>It didn’t matter.</p><p>I spoke anyway.</p><p><br/></p><p>When I left,</p><p>I felt lighter, like the weight was suddenly gone.</p><p>Not happy.</p><p>Not whole.</p><p>But free enough.</p><p><br/></p><p>And yes my heart has an owner now, I'm sure she wouldn't agree with my methods of closing and suffocating my especially mucky past</p><p>But I needed it......</p><p><br/></p><p>I needed to meet the version of me</p><p>You once knew</p><p>And leave him there,</p><p>Bury him there ..along with our memories, at that hall….... Livingstone Hall</p><p>With you.</p><p><br/></p><p>I am not yours anymore.</p><p>Not yours to hurt.</p><p>Not yours to Hold.</p><p>Not yours to save.</p><p>I am finally mine.</p><p><br/></p><p>And loving her now feels different now,almost dangerous</p><p>Because I am whole enough</p><p>To give her everything.... uncertain if she's a shinier you, yes but...</p><p>without shrinking into fear,I'm going </p><p>to love her in ways I never did, you!</p><p>Goodbye, you!</p><p>  </p><p><br/></p><p>~kev~</p>
