the ability to be broken

By eidos






I suppose I owe you an apology
for the way I walked away when we ended.
I no longer have a need to make 2 am phone calls
to tell someone that they are missed. I no longer
feel the want to sit in a movie I detest simply to see a smile.
I no longer wish to speak words of love and life
to someone that I consider special, anymore.
Because I used all of that up on you.
So I suppose I owe you an apology, for not thanking you
for ruining me for everyone else.

    Heavy. Such is the risk we take when we invest completely in someone or something that fails, in the end, to come to fruition. I have been here before and hope never to be again. The last time the recovery period was enormous. Hope you find a way to recharge thank you for sharing your pain.

Maybe the other crabs were jealous and he lost it in battle...maybe it got caught between the rocks and he had to decide if he would sit there and die intact or chew it off. I don't know, but it was gone and he hid out in the hollowed log for awhile...he rarely came out, barely ate. He eventually rejoined the others and carried on like normal, and he even grew a new claw...but, in the meantime, he had learned to live without one...so he just kind of dragged this new claw around...he didn't wave it around, or use it to tear his food. It was just there. This poem reminded me of that crab and his useless claw.
