Something in me knew that it’d happen,
that somehow across borders
across time zones
across oceans,
I’d run into you.
My heart betrays me,
however brief
when I look to the sky
for the reason why
he would bring you again to me,
when I have spent the last
few years
of sleepless nights
trying to scrub you
from my soul.
It wasn’t very long before
I remembered why
I was so enamored with you.
So, attached.
So in love.
…but that feeling wasn’t without
its own weight.
its own,
drowning.
It was a moment,
but a moment was all I needed.
Of pain, of past
of despair
to remind myself also
why we together were
so
broken.
