I declined coming to the reunion. I sent my apologies to DOGNUTS. Moments like this I want to be alone. Arlene can always come over to my place for the New Year, nah but I aint going back to Gapo. I dont want to go trek a track of lies. I deserve better. DOGNUTS and I, we will always be friends, whatever time, space, condition.
I have too many regrets already, so what's another one.
I got the pics ... again they're all over the place. Tangible proofs of how a man I deeply cared about has been dishonest to his teeth. Sometimes I wonder the kind of truths he's gonna teach his sons :(. And I pity my daughter's daughters' daughters to cross path with his sons' sons and so forth. I'd be saying prayers and casting spells that day will never come.
I love him still though. And the most valuable lesson he has taught me was not about cooking his favorite dish ... but 5 months that felt like a lifetime of never ever to trust again. Never. No one.
Alone is better. Than betrayal.
I like to remember things my own way. how i remembered them, not necessarily the way they happened. I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. My DeLicioUs ambiguity.
... my other garden ;)
About Me
- Irma
- I'm not a graceful person. I'm not a Sunday morning or a Friday sunset. I am a Tuesday 2AM, I am gunshots muffled by a few city blocks, I am a broken window during February. My bones crack on a nightly basis. I fall from elegance with a dull thud, and I apologize for my awkward sadness. I sometimes believe that I don't belong around people, that I belong to all the leap days that didn't happen. The way light and darkness mix under my skin has become a storm. You don't see the lightning, but you hear the echoes.
