breakup note

203 44 48
                                        

if you had been my everything

then after you

i would have had nothing

to worry about.

but you weren't my everything

(because no one can be anybody's everything)

so everything now can be you

(because the only thing larger than certainty is possibility).

you were the beautiful window

of my shattered house.

but what can one see from the window

of a shattered house except all the things

that have not been shattered yet?

that is why the window closed

and that is why the wind that closed it

had to be me.
