She had everything
she had ever wanted.
It had taken her
most of her life.
She sometimes wondered
whether she had been
too modest
in her ambitions.
But there was no one
left to impress.

The first was a poet who wrote beautiful things about her but rarely remembered her birthday.
The second was a doctor who understood the human heart but had very little interest in hers.

She had always been considered difficult to live with.
After five years on her own, she began to suspect the others had been right.

I found her words
at the edge of the lake
I scooped them up
but wasn't sure
if she wanted them back
so I planted them
in a barren field and
they soon turned
into wildflowers

Sometimes she wondered
if she’d set her sights too low,
or simply learned to want
what others had to show.
But there was no one
left to impress.
And little reason
to wish for more or less.

Coming around the corner of a house, I see a banquet of hot food spread out on a picnic blanket, tanning herself.

I use my tears to sear together what remains of the fragments I used to call self.
A salt-baked soul fresh from the oven of grief. Crusty and hard and set for what comes next.

"And you know something," she said, glistening eyes transfixed by the torch in her hands, "I can't lose you."
Before I realized what she had planned, the torch had already met the ground and the flames had engulfed us both, a rush of heat, pain and light.
But it was a dream, right?
