Something Old, Something New
People leave like seasons change
Followed by grief and sadness
Tears flow, a chaotic scene
Reminding myself of the madness
Wrenched away in the nick of time
Loving this hard and this much
Is reserved for the one, with care in their heart
For all of me and such

The Tsunami of Loss
I lose people, and amid the tsunamis
of grief and sadness that follow,
I remind myself, when finally chaos tears dissolve
and the aftermath of thoughts is allowed:
“Silly child, you should know better
than to love anyone this much by now,
every time you have loved this hard and this much,
you know it will be wrench away from you somehow
