oops

I feel it in the days I struggle to fill like empty glasses.
I feel it in the past I keep revising in my own mind to make myself feel better.
It is behind every half formed joke.
It is behind every awkward conversation.
I feel it in the eyes of strangers passing me on the street.
I feel it in the memory of our last kiss.
It is behind every wistfull smile.
It is behind every hopeful glance.
I feel it in the disappointment of silence.
I feel it in the disjointed holidays that advertise joy.
It is behind every forced laugh.
It is behind every bitter word.
I feel it in the times I sold my soul for an embrace.
I feel it in the tears I fought, and still fight.
It is behind every unspoken word.
It is behind every overzealous declaration of happiness.
It is loneliness.

As for the all remembering....
I declare happiness in the all loneliness.
I hear you somber words, just remember creation is just a place for you to create |
