I am nothing and everything at this moment
There is no ecstasy
There is no torment
Dormant
...
Not much has changed since you’ve been gone
I awake in the morning
I humm to my favorite songs
I fall asleep at night with the bathroom light on
...
Cellos and Violins
We dance slowly
To Bach and Chopin
Effortlessly
...
We arrived at our home that night separately in the same car.
He needed to speak.
I needed silence.
...
From Scratch
I am nothing and everything at this moment
There is no ecstasy
There is no torment
Dormant
Timeless
With out suspicion or concern
With out arrogance or immunity
Emotionless
Suspended
There is no confusion
There is no knowledge
There is no assurance
My mind is clear
And my heart is open
I am willing and I am able
Capable
My legs are strong and sturdy
I am walking
All that was
Has been left behind me
All that will be
Is in front of me
All I have ever wanted is within my reach
I am a canvas again
No pigment
No color
No hues
A bare palette awaiting the first stoke of genius
Vibrant color that will be my path to follow
I am neither for you
Or against you
I will prosper with or without you
All bruises, scars, and doubt removed
Cleansed in all of me being
My eyes are open for the very first time
I am moving forward
