Now

Now

A Poem by Kimberley

I have this friend who understands me.
He understands me because he has survived me.
We fucked and he fell in love and he saw what a mess I was and stayed.
Stayed loving me.
Time after time when I pushed him away, he stayed.

Now, he is my reminder.
I message him "now" whenever I need reminded that you dont love me.
He tells me that you couldn't possibly want me, love me, or even care for me and have abandoned me the way you did.
Now.
The irony is not lost on either of us. I am him and you are me when I was continuously devastating him.
Yet he stays.
Now.

Yep. Lots of irony in this life. Maybe time to let go of that? Sounds like a bad spiral.

Vonnegut said you really only write for one person. Funny that I would write for the one person who could fix me and I wouldn't need to write anymore. more..
