Happy to Be Alive - Love Lost But Not Forgotten

There’s a point,

It’s a step

Between falling and breaking and laying flat broken in pieces

There’s a note you can hold

That sounds (but doesn’t feel) like you’re happy to be alive

She holds in it like we hold it in

Until we’re too full to take in a breath

A translucent body that retracts when you reach for it,

Pained at the touch and indifferent to love,

Lays asleep to us all,

Awake to her sadness

And why does everyone seem so cruel?

How can everyone be so cruel?

If I could only stay alive long enough to stop feeling this way
