Musical Selection–Location by Khalid
Last night, searching for
Photos, your picture snuck
Up
On
Me
Thought I’d deleted
All of them
Guess I was wrong
It caught me off guard
Pulled a deep sigh
From my abdomen
And buried itself
On my tongue
I tasted you
Your scent filled
My home
All the memories
Jumped into my
Mouth and bore down
In an oasis
Of want
A tear fell
Then another
And another
Soon —
I was drowning
In the essence of
A fake embrace
Remembering what it
Felt
Like
To be
Loved
By
You

Yes. Totally relate. This happens and it’s scathing. You describe it uncannily like you climbed into a universal brain but that’s your forte.

So poignant and sad, so beautifully written. I’ve been there too, as you know. After, though, I hope the right door opens and brings you more joy than you thought possible. 🤗🤗

Heartfelt and bittersweet. Incredible what a single photo can stir up even when you’re sure you’re over someone.

Thank you, Pragal. The words aren’t coming to be easily these days. I have a lot going on. I love digging in the den, though. Thankfully, a lot is around to share. 😊

You are welcome Tre. You have a treasure of words I am sure. Life does come in the way at times 🙂 I have spaced out my posts too.

I love what’s happening, much really needs to. I just didn’t bank on it all happening at once. Lol. I won’t complain, though. Just making room, space, and saving energy for it all.
