Splintered Self

I am here and I am there

I haven’t reached my destination yet

The pain hasn’t subsided and, at times,

I don’t want it to

I live in a past that can never be again,

While living in a present that I would hesitate to change

I remind myself not to remember,

And remember not to remind myself

Part of me left with you,

And I have lived splintered - growing and grasping

Part of you is still with me,

And when I remember to remind myself of this,

We

Sway

In

The

Breeze

Together
