Endlessly

She came and said to me,

this time I won’t be staying,

the drive was dead to me,

hours of slow translation.

Don’t waste the energy,

siphon the pain and chase it,

it has a tendency

to make you just stand and take it,

and endlessly now, I hope she says it,

hang on to it, how I wish she’d stayed here.

I said it carefully,

it’s been a lot to take in,

but this is everything,

you couldn’t stop me waiting,

a part of me now thinks I could face it,

without a come down I can’t erase it.
