I'm sinking.
I can feel it.
Like being in an elevator
when it goes down a little bit faster.
I can feel myself leap just a bit,
even though my feet are still on the ground.
That has been my revelation today.
I'm not flying,
I’m sinking. Fast
I can't describe it,
but today my heart jumped out of my chest
and landed on the table in front of me.
I wanted to grab it and squeeze.
Squeeze until it felt pain,
physically.
Because it has been my source of misery.
But I thought again.
Maybe I’m its source of misery.
Maybe that's why it decided to free itself from me.
To mutter up every ounce of strength it could
From this weak body,
And leap!
Normally, this would have saddened me.
But not this time.
It’s as if I’m…numb
Oh, thank you heart,
for sparing me.
indeed, I’m numb now

Your poems are wonderful. And I usually loathe poems, mind you. But yours just sort of moves something, and makes me really, REALLY think. And I like that. Keep writing!
