good

I am sorry
but this is no good

I was sincere
when we started
but now this
this is clearly not my problem

and bigger than
what kept me in bed all last saturday

I think
sadly
that you are on
your own
free to tailspin

free

I have neither
the lift
nor weight
in my presence
to pull you out
nor stabilize the flight

what fancy colors
in which you live
I love it really
but not enough

positive

boots
for floorboards
turned to mud

I am getting out
even if the swim
is through quick sand

when I leave
at the end
of the day
I am taking my life back

for my family and
my daughters
and the bits of myself
that I still have
