Or Not


You promised
That nothing would change.
You knew me better than anyone,
Including me, sometimes.
You would stay with me,
Sustain me,
Defend me,
Need me as much as I need you.
I believed you to be
True
And honest
As you spoke of blue skies
For us.

But now
Everything is different.
You don’t even know me,
Nor care to.
But I’m getting reacquainted with myself.
You are gone
And I am alone
To face the enemy –
Loneliness.
And face the piercing truth
That the sky is gray
For me
For now.
