it's like all the fights and bites
we should have had til now
have been saved up, are
raking me slowly over crackling coals.
i quit smoking a secon time,
rabbit_scared but mule_stubborn,
and almost immediately after,
"i need space."
i can't deny you that, but
there's no room for me to say
"i need you."
there's a broken tooth in my head
and my power might get shut off
and i might bounce a rent check
and you made me swear to
come to you for help,
but, in this too-familiar tale,
i needed you, still do,
but you're not there,
and i don't get the comfort
of self-righteous anger.
i don't even get the comfort of
knowing what's going on,
or why, or if you're okay.
i just get the comfort of
knowing once again, aways,
that i can make it alone,
can and will, when i
least expect it.
there is nothing easy
about any of this,
and it will only get harder.

Let me know if I can help. I'm states away, but I'm still here. You are not alone.
