Canto XIII

September

I’m drifting away

I still love them but my love is not the same

Something is getting lost on the way

I

Feel more and more like quitting

I wonder what is stopping me

Is it the sadness of breaking yet another relationship?

I think and I think

No

It’s the sad thought that overcomes me when I think

of being away from them

Maybe I need more space_

More time to think

away from the constant chaos I find myself in

I don’t feel important, that my needs are met

That my opinion matters

They take all the space

I have been feeling sad for the last few months

I tried to communicate my needs

However, very little to no inclination has been made

I still having less intimate moments than I need

I’m lost in the woods

Should I stay longer, I may only make leaving more

Difficult

Should I choose to end it

I surely will endure even more pain

I could propose an open relationship

Try something new for a change

But this might be the end of us.

What to do? What to do, my dear Time?

Maybe October will answer me

On the leaves that fall on my

Path.
