when things end

willingly 

or wrongfully 

there’s no

point in wondering 

or worrying

whether things

could have 

been better-

you are only

owed a share

of reality,

a glimpse 

of your

story and

no matter how much

of your seasons

are binge watched-

observing a life

is not really

being in

or holding 

onto

what’s

alive.
