You’re traveling
You heard it was nice---
for broken hearts
You’re traveling, like
the miles
You put between each
other
Can outlast the distance
between your hearts
You’re traveling to
remind
Yourself that the world
is bigger
Bigger than you or him or
the broken pieces of the both of you in between
You’re traveling to
forget
Maybe if you walked far
enough
And swam deep enough
And flew high enough
You’d forget how it all
used to feel
How he kisses your brow
at the
End of every day, or how
one of you
Threw everything away
You’re traveling
Because, well, you’re
unravelling
Because you don’t even
know how to be you without him and
You’re learning, again.
You’re learning how to be
you.
You’re traveling and
trying to see the world with
Brand new eyes
You’re traveling and wish
to leave everything behind.
