Constant Autumn

Crows feet tracks leave gouges in skin
Another day passes where I couldn't make you smile
A new ache reaches down and twists off my head
The dead marrow refreshed by dialysis

I remember when we were in love
But time has taken that from us

Cut out a bigger missing piece
And try to fit into someone, else
Estrangement is our new normal
Too scared to leave,
But so hard... to stay

I have pictures - of who we once were
That life is over - that time is past
Looking for ourselves - in someone else
Constant Autumn
