Trapped In The Margins

He was the best thing to happen to me.

A man so warm that he made everything melt away.

All the pain of the past began to fade when we got together.

But the unthinkable happened.

A pandemic hit and tore us apart.

Words dripped with longing.

My skin began to burn.

My heart began to ache.

It hurt being away from him.

But now the world is opening up again.

And we’ve both changed.

Something broke in me one day.

And I’m afraid to say goodbye.

I’m afraid the truth has caught up to me.

He was never mine to keep.
