Singular

pull up your own chair

for the single seat on the end

all-in-one

odd man out

singular in a plural world

outside the protective barrier

that love creates around its beloved

vulnerable to the unseen dangers

the reality of being singular

 A lot has gone in our lives in the past 8-10 months and I'm still not ready to process it for the world to see.  But I was reading through my journal and came across this poem that I wrote a  bit  ago:

I cry in the shower hoping the water muffles the sobs...

I cry in pillows that suffocate the sound of an asphyxiated  heart...

I cry alone in my car like a wild woman trying to break free of the grief that consumes...

I cry myself to sleep and wake up to cry myself through the day...

I say I am fine as the silent tears roll down my face...

No matter how much I cry it never truly heals the pain that is there.

Will I ever cry enough to wash it all away?
