I thought you left me
I thought I could move on
I thought the moon could shine
even on the darkest of nights—
even when the sun never seemed to make an appearance
I thought you left
then I felt your hand on my neck,
squeezing the air from my lungs
squeezing the life from my soul into a bottle
of regret
that you tossed out to sea
for me to find
I thought you left—
you and your poison,
you with your death
and numbing embrace
I thought you left,
until I glanced into a mirror, and
saw you staring back at me—
from these eyes that shine
no more
