I still want to
let go of you,
but I must wait until
the tide is low enough.
Day by day the feeling fades
and I am left clinging to bones of you.
Every hair reminiscent of an indecision,
trying to make it right,
correct your mistakes,
not mine.
I am falling apart, and
you are holding on to threads now.
Hold on tighter before
I unravel.
I may only hope
to see you
in another lifetime
where you’ll come to me whole
with hands strong enough
to hold me close.
