Evidence
Poet: museconnie
Category: Broken Heart
 
One day I will wake
and understand why
you left yourself behind
when you moved away

I find evidence
that you have
been in every room

It has been 11 months
since you ran away
from yourself

Today
your book is still
turned over
forever resting
on the first page
of the tenth chapter

I wonder if you
have missed yourself yet
you left so many
of your things here
like markers
staking a claim for you
in case you need evidence

To convince me
that almost a year
hasn't passed

In case you decide
to suddenly show up
and pretend
you never left

In case I will
play along
when you pick up
your book
and continue reading
where you left off

You are not really here

So
why
haven't
you
gone
yet?
