Lineation

You’ve drawn the line
and I can feel reality as

barbed wire pierces my
heart and blood stains
my outlook on us. It would
have 
been nice to see
more 
deeply into each
other’s 
worlds. I was living
in 
the clouds not seeing 
this sketched out.
So for now,

I’ll continue walking
through fields 
of what could have been

While sitting in this memory
my eyes begin to water

as my mind wanders through
the road together we traveled

but as tears fall, their love washes
over all that was unraveled

leaving a smile on my face
knowing his love and humor

will always leave a trace
for this moment and into my future

While sitting in this memory
I hold deeply in my heart

what once was of the man
whose presence I miss
