as it is now

it was once
not so long
ago

we were like sun and stars
never apart
this is not the same

you continue to brush aside
the deep yearnings of mine

yet you do not know
and so

i wait
and breathe
to accept today
and hope for tomorrow

because i feel
i have met
someone else
to share

the sweet thoughts of
mine
without rhythm
or rhyme

i will choose myself
and my sanity
