I fight everything
To not turn back
To not run away
But my eyes still
Land on her face
My feet become rooted
In the ground
My heart twists
In my chest
Reminding me of
Her
I know I can never
Return here
But that sweet
Little girl needs
Me
All the strength
Left in me
Cranes back my
Neck to
The road ahead
I can't stop
My feet weigh
Me down
But I pick them
Up and place
Them forward
One step
At a time
Still I'll never
Forget the little girl
I used to be
Posted in response to the challenge Shoulder.
Sometimes I dream of you
Our future, our past, and us now
Usually I end up breaking apart
Listening to your words
Making my world hell
And then I wake up
The truth floods back
My father texted me on Valentine's day
Three years ago I would've responded
But this year I asked who it was
I had deleted his contact
I don't regret it
Because my dad died years ago
I know I can never have her like I want to
If I could even have her like that I wouldn't take it
Not anymore
But maybe in another lifetime I would
My heart only beats for her
