Break

I left but I can't leave
I'm not gone
I stepped away to compose a song
That's not sad
Not angry
A song with words that don't hang me
A poem whose word don't gut me
There's not enough of me
Left
To write the next chapter
This novel shouldn't end in disaster
So I'll plaster my own guts across the page
Until the pain slips away
And I can find the love
We used to make
