Before.

Sometimes I wonder to myself if any of it was worth it. The pain, the grief, the anger, the months upon months of replaying those moments again in my mind's eye. So here I am, surrounded by those thoughts again, knelling a confession onto the page. Was it truly worth it?

As I lie alone at night
My thoughts, they weep
Only of you
I feel that pain
It steals my sleep
Semblance of joy
Has left with you
When did you take
Me away from me?
The hole you left
Is shaped like you

Soap.

I need the soap again
To wash the lines from my arms, traced
By that soft ghost I'd come to know
Porcelain spirit, clattering shards
Of care shattered on my face
That scurry all across the boards
I need the soap again
We've only just turned it off
But it still drips endlessly
As if torn from your head
Held taut for me to weep
My tears faced to the torrent
Of the flood greeting the drain
Vanished
I need the soap again
To remove the gloom that you glued
Back where it once lived
Where I once lived
Where I'd once loved
Where shards fit whole
If only for just another moment, please.
The water's getting colder
Droplets screaming on the plug
They say it's better than a dry one
But I can't get the soap off
Dried.

Moth.

And when I thought that I was finally done
That I had reached my fill of misery
My trough refills and I must eat from it
Because I am unable to feed myself
I thrust myself back in like a moth to the lamp
And bash my head against the unsoft glass
And though it burns the scales off of my wings
I still choose this over my apathy
She tortures me with her memory
Claws at cages inside my head
Arms outstretched to break the chains
Dejection creeping over like rust
Torture me with your apathy (empathy)
Cast my clothing beside my cares
I am some kind of wisp to you
Grievances one has left to bear (x2)
I thrust myself back in like a moth to the lamp
And bash my head against the unsoft glass
And though it burns the scales off of my wings
I still choose this over my apathy
