"OBJECTIVE"



for some, 
things change and it usually 
leads to a heartbreak.
the garbage disposal still 
turns, 
the weeds still find a way to 
grow and 
it's all of what remains of a 
love that held promise.
the pain then becomes 
confusion and 
everything that seemed wrong 
either turns right or 
just doesn't seem so bad. 
when the past disappears and 
you know 
there is something still 
there, 
the freeways never run out of 
cars. 
the radio conceives a 
playlist pulled from your 
library of love. 
we often think this can be 
used for every person 
we are with but truth be 
told, 
it only applies to one.
she makes positive that you 
have your cigarettes, 
you make positive that she 
drinks enough water to 
rid herself of the 
dehydration she suffers from. 
we walked the beach for two 
days. 
we walked as if we both 
needed a break from the 
heartbreak. 

we did. 

we used to walk as if 
tomorrow wasn't coming. 
today, 
we knew tomorrow would come 
and with it, 
a new objective for an old 
promise. 
as the pier licked our feet, 
as the birds watched as we 
played in the water, 
as the sun covered two it 
knew it couldn't separate, 
we managed to be real about 
our reality.
in the end, 
we had the power to turn 
heartbreak into a break 
from the heart. 
we set course for a new 
objective that we both 
never really let go of.
the objective of that day was 
simple but we both 
turned it into something 
else.
