Any Words

Im wondering

what's left

in me 

after 

this,

I kneel 

on the cold

concrete

of life

and pick up 

piece by piece

the we

that was in 

my now

broken heart

where 

do I start

how will I

reconnect

what's left

I ask myself

and laugh

myself

that ironic laugh

that says 

I told you so

I’m told it's so

that time 

will heal this

but I am real

it’s not 

a fairytale

and I

am past cliches

I am at

my days 

end

without 

the honey,

I’m home 

all by myself

learning 

how to sleep 

on both sides 

of my empty bed

learning how 

to quiet

the tears in my head

learning how

to make 

one 

cup 

of coffee

learning 

that not having 

to compromise

is overrated 

and I

hate 

it,

the quiet

the ache

the taste

of regret

in my bed

on my skin

in my air

clouding my sun

am 

one

and two was

always a better number

so here I am

taping the pieces 

of my heart

crudely

together

to offer it again

to the man 

that I love

thats worth

these knees 

on the concrete

these fingers

scraping 

the ground

for any me 

that's left to offer

any me that's left

any me at all

any 

me
