"We" are beyond my "control"

 You are the war I lost
The only war I lost
"We" are beyond my "control"

You were my sunshine
Now you are my forever-raining lake
Your reflection lost in the ripples
When I do look for You

Can I have an "unreactive" healthy acquaintance with you?
Wish you, 
Happy Birthday! 
Or will you remain the ghost of the love I once had?

I couldn't fix "us" even in the 14th post mortem 
A lesson in what I can't fix 

Humbled.

I left when I had to "endure" us  ♥️
When I had contradictions for everything I felt.

"We" are beyond my "control "

A lesson only you could deliver.

I know, I had stopped people-pleasing, aint good for the soul. It means, to sit with rejection. To let people be people as they are, towards me too. How hard, how bitter Rejection feels, to be excluded. Esp...

Rage

 If I am mad , The embers will burn you,  before you enter my world. That way, you cannot hurt me. Cause I only feel powerful when I shame, blame and shout at you, When my wounds are cut open in the slightest  Those embers will burn me, Until I learn to love myself,  Until I learn boundaries, Until I am wise and feel safe enough to open my heart And invite in love.

Tea party

 How long could we have  wrapped our anxieties in familiarity, and kept our boat going? One look and I saw death trailing beneath. Sorry, I looked back again, For I was beginning to heal I was beginning to feel the anxiety  Beneath all the familiarity. I invited my anguish for tea, with us And death came in too For it was inevitable  And you were gone as we three had tea, together. And I complained about you, all that time. How you didn't sit with death. For it was our home And death was all but a visitor But I saw you leave. With death, came clarity And you were gone by autumn Though the marcescence in me remembers
