an almost miracle
i’m breaking as you break the glasses
on the floor by my feet
i’m shaking as you shake my mother’s ashes
i’ve fallen to my knees
it’s taken everything i’ve lived for
to not take everything from you
ill just lay in this bed, fear for the next morning with you
i wake up to the sound
of rain on the ground
i look all around
you can’t be found
i get up from our bed
the sheets a bloody mess
i wonder did you get any rest
i wonder if you left
i walk by the room
where it happened last night
i prepare for a fight
but you look confused
you cleaned up the mess
the broken pieces on the floor
you even made breakfast
i’ve never seen this before
i sit next to you at the bed
but i start to fall asleep
i wake to you wanting me dead
i realize it was all a dream
