Miracle

Ten days away,
Everything should have changed,
But I’m home now,
And it’s the same.

I set down my emotional baggage,
And start to clean up the mess that I left, here.
I pull off my jacket,
Take off my shoes,
And I can’t shake
The thought of you.

I push through the curtain,
And I the empty room vapidly spins.
I sit on the bed,
And I feel my heart loose it’s grin.

Instantly, I’m outside.
Feet bare,
Feeling the cold wet snow beneath them.
I look to the sky
Open my arms wide,
Attempting to feel again.

Foiled.
