Happy Without

Kat Cassell, Writer

I wonder often if it’s bitter in your hands

I wonder carefully, your sweetest reprimands

When you chew on my heart do you feel that mottled chance?

The potential of each credential leads me quickly through demands.

 

It’s very possible I’ll never love again

Even though I’ll have you forever, it hurts to no end

I miss the addiction, the sugar, and the crashes

Such a tall fire

many ashes

When you’d catch me I felt fulfilled,

Now I feel I never will.

 

Truly, I sought you out of convenience not necessity

Now that you are you necessary, I regret thinking so incessantly

I never considered that once it all settled,

Once I settled,

I would have to make myself happy.

I’m happy with you

Now I must be without
