something inbetween

by e. h. - Libra

there is something
so sorrowful i 
think i should feel
now

staring at a
half empty bottle
of echinacea root
on my carpet

as three shirts hang
abandoned in my closet

yes, i think...
maybe after the Jack
wears off

and this simple
feeling of relief 
and peace

then maybe i might 
climb into one of 
those shirts

live in it
make it mine
attempt to sniff 
out

one last remembrance
of that smell

smoke and heat
and love

still lingering
in the air
as i try to forget
so much shit
packed in the driveway

the most careful
leaving of my life
full of good wishes
and good luck

and failure
and sorry
and now

now this...
this feeling of peace

this...
moment of empty

this...
understanding nothing
will be the same

this...
moment when i accepted
that love is an image...
a belief

that cannot be sustained
