Mourning Masochists


Today, they are sad, in mourning

for all the things they'll never have the chance to do or share

morning tea on a cold fall day

snuggling till they fall asleep then waking gladly in each other's company

shared meals and conversations delving deeper

into their histories and scars

feeling irrevocably connected with each other and the universe.


They'll never go dancing

or feel snug in a shared sleeping bag.

The stars blinded at the light they shed

basked in the glory of their unencumbered stolen embraces.

Breakfast in bed

sci fi binging


They'll never share dreams or plans for a future

Lucky enough to have met

Unlucky in timing


They mourn what might have been

Another wound

a new psychic pieta to pick at

in the few stilled moments, they may find

to think of each other and what if's

trying to find a reason in the chaos of a universe

that showed them a door they could not walk through in this lifetime


Yet, perhaps, or never

while praying like an addict

for more stolen moments

knowing all the same

they will inevitably cause pain.
