i do not belong here.

i do not belong here.

i had been living a
lie.
for a moment i
thought i had settled
down.
for
a brief moment i
thought i had stopped
feeling out
of place.

where are
you now?
where are
we?

i lay here, dead as
a lilac in
the winter
snow.

my
voice unspoken,
unheard, in
ruins.

i do not belong here.
i am sure
of it.
