gravity_of_tears
unhinged the release of letting_go
a salt stained streak
slowly evaporating


some memories
only hurt more
in the longer passing

unhinged my face still scratched and wet
forced myself to leave the house
because maybe the last thing i wanted
was the first thing i needed
(recently realizing i cram it all down
not a single person around here
i could have the same wordless_coversations with)
so i went anyways
stopped at the drugstore
face, eyes red
voice quiet
and scared the poor kid at the register
so that he heard my 'yeah'
as a 'no'
everything about me looking no
such a solid wall
everything inside me pleading please
for so long i_pleaded
but somehow
it_ends_like_this
more often than not
clutching pillows
streaming tears
five_years_ago
was the last time i had someone to hold me
when i cried
decay_of_tears
the knee jerk reaction
to push me away
i fight it
the hardening of me
into a person i don't want to be
pushed
buffeted
battered
by the storm
inside
outside
all around me
same tired_old_story
really all life is
same tired old struggle
same tired old survival
the tears well up
and fall over the edge

unhinged and i woke up today
and feel somewhat better
the gravity slowly pulling it out of me


cause sometimes i just need to cry
and there's no shame in that
the need fewer and far between
receding echoing_thought
love the pill i swallow
( tonglen )
...............for myself

...
unhinged like a punch to the stomach
or
a boulder on the chest


no room to breathe

unhinged to the old me -

we are ok. we climbed out of the hole. with hard work, we can maintain way more equanimity. we even sometimes make_better_choices
