I forgot how much it sucks to say goodbye.
That pit that grows inside you as you wave them away,
It loves to swallow me whole,
An empty vessel for an empty stomach.
You have stolen my heart
And have taken it with you.
Now I am alone and drowning
With only the ironic loneliness to keep me company.
Tonight I remembered
How big a bed feels half full.

A New Beginning
Tony couldn’t sit still, crossing and uncrossing his legs, trying to calm his trembling hands as Clara stood at the office window deep in thought. The airline ticket in his shirt pocket moved to the beat of his heart¬– each beat bringing back the nightmare causing memories of the words he’d spoken over ten years ago. Thanks to Clara he’d finally gained the courage to buy that ticket.
