From Where I'll Be

Tonight I will be folding,
tossing, discarding,
sifting through a past
that does not serve me,
giving it all up,
for well and good.
Enough is a word
we take for granted
but I understand enough,
have taken enough,
and I just don't have
enough passion
or joy
or life
enough patience
to put up with a vampire
leeching my heart
and stealing sheets
and bitching
that life aborted his dreams
when I never saw him once
reach for what he claimed to love---
No. Not even me.
So I'm packing it in.
And maybe it won't be perfect.
And maybe I'll be  alone,
but that's when you're supposed to be lonely.
Not when you're lying next to a body,
and praying that you won't touch
instead of hoping that you will.
