How do we do it
How do we pretend that the damage hasn’t been done
The pain is still there
But we cling to each other
Breathe one another
When all the while we suffer inside
Divulging our feelings only when ferocious waves
Of deep blues
And dark grays roll in
Then is when we tell how we’re hurt
Saying how we were disappointed in some way
Raising voices then calming things down
Apologies coming from both of us
Knowing that the technicalities do not matter
At this junction we fight to not face the truth
We hide behind the knowledge that we
Hurt each other
At some point
In some way
A few infractions
Had us going separate directions
But we could feel the air leaving our lungs
As we parted ways
It was safe to say
We loved each other
More than anyone could love another
Our pasts preceded us
The destruction done
And now
Only way is up
But we are stuck
Going day by day
Certainly uncertain of what we could be
In everyone else’s reality
We never were
However we know
In our reality
We were and are perfect
With all the negatives
And all the positives
How do we love us
How do we hold on to what is us
