Limbo

The longer I'm
in limbo
the longer I'm
in this stage 
the more I think
I cannot stay.

Isn't it ironic then
that it was you
who once said
you needed to make a change. 

The longer you 
leave me like this
the more likely
to come a change is. 

I cannot stay
forever
in this stage.

I need 
something
to change

before I break.

You've made your decision

now get up and leave

Love is the person who understands you so intensely that it is as though they have climbed into your head and are looking at the world through your eyes

Contrition

It took months for
the stress and
negativity to 
nibble away 
and make me forget 
all the reasons that I
love you.

It took two weeks
and one night
to remember 
it all.

Now
when they ask me
which deal I'd rather cut
what work I'd rather do
none of it matters
none of the stupidity that
got in between us.

All that matters is you. 

I would always choose you.

On Wednesday

The last time I worked early, like this, on a Wednesday, you were in the next room...

It's these memories
the small ones
shadows of our former life
that creep up on me
out of the dark.

My memory
(that which frustrated you so)
means that these little things
are catalogued 
and categorised.

They are ready
to creep up on me
at any moment to
remind me that this is now
our history.
