Expectant thrill
falls short
on celebration,
empty words
not even spoken
or considered.
Why did you
still want them
so badly?
26:276
Muscle memory
of the skilled
faded through years
of neglect.
Reacquaint yourself
and remember
when you danced
and dived
at the top.
26:275
Content croissant
curled on the sofa,
drooping eyes
as you watch
your security
stay by your side.
Warmth and mischief
will fuel you again.
26:274
Complete my story
and shelf it,
forgotten
as a present happening
and now considered
irrelevant.
26:273
Wash away experience
because of the dirt
it brought with it.
Was it better
to keep it?
Or are you too tired
to fight for it
anymore?
26:272
Change my form
but not my essence,
presenting the world
with shapes and actions
I’ll continue to
emerge from,
but still
always be myself.
26:271
Sit beside me
with a gap
and recoil
from affection.
Is this normal now?
Alone free time together
but resentment
of presence
keeps us apart.
Do you miss me
when I disappear?
26:270
Make a stand
and reclaim a legacy
to remind them
who you are,
what you represent,
and why
you will never
be forgotten
or ignored.
26:269
Rekindle
a flame that
burnt too bright
and scorched
your existence,
leaving charred pieces
that rebuilt into better.
Are you really wiling
to risk everything
again?
26:268
Changed by tragedy,
a body wrapped
with scars
that bare your pain
to the world.
Do you remember
who you were,
even if they don’t?
