Complicated

A Poem by R.E.K.

Joseph, 

No one seemed to get it, 
Why we couldn't
Be together

I can make it sound
Complicated if I want to 

But I don't

Who likes 
Complicated girls
Anyway?

The story can be a one liner
If I wanted it to be

But I don't

So I'll make it three instead: 

You and me, but 
Reality 
And Illness.

Who's illness?

Mine. 

I don't even think 
You know I have an addiction. 

Kinda funny when I think about 
In a not-really-funny-at-all 
Kind of way

You were my drug, my medicine. 

I'm sorry. 
I really am, I didn't mea
For that to happen. 

So here I am 
Forgetting all the 
Songs I sang you 

Recording videos of me 
Talking to your spirit 
Scared of telling anyone 
Cuz it sounds kind of pathetic, 
Doing that, 
But I still feel the need to talk to you 
Tell you things, ask how you are...

And I still love you...

G-d knows. 
He's patient with me. 

So we aren't 
Together 
But finally we are 
Peacefully apart 

And that's really 
How it was supposed to be

I took a bite on something 
I wasn't supposed to eat from 
And choked 

And so serenity 
Seems to come 
Many times 
To visit me

Depression even less

I still pray for your 
Insomnia 
And that G-d help you 
Do your best

Love, 
Ellie
