Confessions of a sad superhero book 54

 When I fell 

it was like 

a breeze 

then it grew 

into a tempest.

I was feeling you

you was feeling me

and for a time all was fine in the kingdom.

Then you left

I tried to hold on

but we grew apart

and you moved on in your own special way

pretending you didn't 

because you wanted to keep me holding on.

Weaning myself from you

it almost destroyed me

made me feel for a good while 

that no one else would or could ever want me.

Your were my safe place

that familiar space

in my mind

I would run to you

pleasing myself with your images 

those memories in my mind.

Then one day in a moment of clarity

I was able to take a stand

I broke free from you

and sometimes its tempting to go back 

to that comfort food you are/were

but I'm no fool


I have been down that road before and I know where it goes.


I have given up on us.

I think you know it

and theres some part of you that knows you have made 

and are making 

a terrible mistake

but bro I can't look back.

I wish I could sometimes

yet its too late because

in so many ways I have outgrown you.

I'm flying high in the sky while you wanna keep walking around

(Did you ever believe in my dreams? Sometimes I wonder)

 No matter what happens next

I think its gonna be

a long time before we see each other again.

Perhaps in some ways this is not right

(But its okay)

I'm gonna be alright.


I think I gave up on us a long time ago.

The bed was made  along time ago.

Maybe one day I won't bristle at love

maybe I won't see it as a dangerous weakness.

For now I'm just gonna deal with surviving

and its gotta be enough.

It will be enough.
