TORN

November 5, 2015

Familiar. This new aura is so familiar.

Yeah, I’ve been here, I recognize.

I was the one leaving then,

And now, I’m the one left behind.

‘one leaving’ and ‘one left’ behind

-- both ONE but are not, can not.

Pain, hurt and all its circles,

In each ‘one’ felt.

I used to taste only ‘one’

But now, I’m stuck with the other ‘one’.

TORN.

I should be better at understanding this ‘one leaving’ now

For I knew and felt so well how that went.

I should be but why couldn’t I?

TORN.

I’m intertwined with this being ‘one left’.

I know what I must do

But I feel I mustn’t do.

TORN.

Should and must OR let and allow?

Maybe now, I’ll choose to stand at OR –

Stand in the middle of tORn and not be

TORN.
