in the end, after all is said and done, too much will have been said
and not nearly enough done.

apparently this sort of thing happens every year.
delayed devotion.
there should be a chickenpox rule on falling out of love. given the severity of it’s terribleness, everyone should only be forced to suffer it once if at all.

“how can you love someone if you don’t find the same small pieces of life...”
intricacies.
i’m starting to think the only thing you’ll ever understand about me is how to dripdrop the tiniest moments until they’re perfectly interspersed to get my hopes up that one day
you’ll understand the rest of me.
just start again and lift off before trouble just...

Dear Thom:
We had your letter this morning. I will answer it from my point of view and of course Elaine will from hers.

but it’s a second shattered facade.
something i loved
is unrecognizable,
and that is that.
more than anything,
this year i have learned the power of silence.
perhaps a resolution for the new year, then,
is less about bringing in something fresh
and more about reevaluating...

on moving home in May.
with parents screaming at each other for the past hour and a half, again, with “i’ll go!” being tossed into arguments (fireballs that have cooled from empty use over the years)
i’m not sure there’ll be a home to move back to.
christmas
and i have never cried so hard in my entire adult life. ever. out on the back stoop in 30 degree weather shortsandashirtandsobbing because my brother is screamingandstompingandjustashell filled with this insatiable anger that comes from a deep place too far to reach.
