Self Preservation
I wake up
and I miss you
and I want to call
or text
or send smoke signals
(Any contact will do).
But decide
that I can’t handle
the disappointment
today.

Wise decision! One of the best pieces of advice I’ve received is “don’t.”
Sometimes not doing something is most definitely better than doing it.
You certainly don’t deserve the disappointment either.
Great poem!
No one deserves the disappointment. Thanks! ? I appreciate all your support. I need to make my way around and read some of your stuff soon.
Oh. Gosh. That’s such a real mood, right there. It hurts me.
I’ll take that as a compliment. ?
