A I Sit Here

Written around 1:30 am in silence. This poem literally just came to me unlike most of my others.

As I sit here,

smoking cigarettes in my apartment, alone

I think of you.

I think of what we had and how much I miss that.

Thoughts roll in one after the other and collide like clouds moving into each other inside my mind.

As I sit here,

downing another drink at the kitchen counter, alone

I think of us.

I think of how much I would have to drink to drown you away.

Feelings well up in my chest and spread through my nervous system like a conscious poison I ingest.

As I sit here,

wringing my hands in search of something to do, alone

I think of now.

I think of how nothing is the way it should be.

Actions speak so much louder than the words we want to say if given the chance to change ourselves.
