saltwater bath (Free verse) by J.B. Manning
Absence of sorrow fills my mind
Tears burn the back side of my eyes, but
I donât cry
Iâm silent among singers
Sweet, distant, and incomplete
Sad songs sound like sexual encounters
Burning bed sheets feel
Like beds of flowers
Answers laughing
Anguish screeching
There
is
No
Prescription
Bravery
The refusal of your emotional
Slavery
Iâm not stopping here
This isnât my choice
It
Never
Was
You found me running
I saw you falling
We collided
But you said it was love
And
I
Believed
You
