Therapy

A Poem

Dear you

Know who you are

I still can't sleep because of you

Dear place

I wish I was

So I wouldn't have to wonder where you are

Dear time

I felt normal

When did you end so this could start

When did you really leave

I might need therapy

To fix my broken pieces

But I'm afraid of what might happen if I went

I'm afraid I might not feel you

Maybe I wouldn't look anymore

I could be OK

But it would cost you

And that's a price I can't pay again

Dear song

That still takes me back

Sometimes I wished you'd get outta my head

Dear words

That I can't stand to speak

You might ruin me if I did

Dear space

That I won't go

For fear of all the memories

They would flood back

I might need therapy

to fix my broken pieces

But I'm afraid of what might happen if I went

I'm afraid I might not feel you

Maybe I wouldn't look anymore

I could be OK

But it would cost you

And that's a price I can't pay again

Dear me

Maybe stop living in the past

He surely wouldn't want that

He knew you better

Knew you were going places

But he didn't know what his leaving would leave you with

A broken heart

A busted head

Failing speech

And the constant fear that you were his end

You were not his end

And he shouldn't be yours

So yes I need therapy

To fix little broken me

But what happens if I leave you behind

If you're out of my mind

Where will I go when I go to the pictures and the words

Will I still care

And how much if I do

Would it cost me you

Because I don't have one to spare
