it's so painful
to stand
entirely still
and watch
you
as your life
goes by
and continues
without me

it's like i am just
on the bleachers
watching you
change and grow
as i cease
to exist

i walk
(a funeral march)
away from you
but,
how can i sleep comfortably alone
with the shape of your body still on my mattress?
