My So-Called Ground

You were the ground

A long time ago

Before you broke my heart

Before you led me on

Before you eventually came out as gay


You were my ground

Back when I had no self esteem

When you took what little I had left


I have been trying to write this poem

Even before you weren't my ground

I wrote and wrote

Trying to find the perfect fit

Of words and phrases that encompassed what I thought was my world

You


Now

You are my space

Infinite and cold

Distant


I haven't talked to you in months

Probably for the better

Just in case I fall in love with a girl I can never have

And rely on the ground I never truly had yet again
