Seperation

I am angry.
I am angry at him,
I am angry at me,
I am angry at everything I let this be.

I am exhausted.
I am exhausted at me,
I am exhausted at you,
I am exhausted after everything I’ve been put through.

I am trapped.
I am caught in a web,
That gets tight and tighter and tighter when I move,
That gets tighter when I feel I have something to prove.

I am tired.
I am tired of excuses,
I am tired of the eyes,
I am so tired of always having to say goodbyes.

I am sad.
I am sad for me,
I am sad for them,
I just can’t wait to see them again.

I cannot lie.
I don’t lie to family,
I don’t lie to friends,
When I say all I my feelings are not pretend.

I want to be home.
I just want to be home,
Hear their noises, smell their smells,
Knowing it’s familiar and all will be well.

I miss them.
I don’t miss you.
I miss them and me together,
Always, through and through.
