Just Inhibitions

I learned to let your inhibitions teach me. 

That when we push everyone away-

We slowly become statues of ourselves. 

As we become encrusted in the anger that stills our being. 

Certainly, we have reached milestones together. 

As kindness captured us. 

But I am passing this cold front that is taking you-

I can still feel the chill…

And I sometimes pretend you are not gone. 

Just inhibited.
