But your name is just another love poem I continue struggling to write
  Nov 2018 Jennifer
Quinn Berube
I have these moments of epiphany.
It is while I watch myself
Wake up and not kiss the soil.

The days I don’t remember
What color the sky was
Or how I treated my mother.

Each time I fly and I realize
There is nothing more breathtaking
Then seeing her from above.

Powerful, Resilient, Art, Oppressed, Female.
That is why I fall in love with the Earth,
She reminds me of all the women I’ve ever loved
That I do not deserve.

You don’t utter passionate words and send love letters,
But silence and empty responses.
And now you leave me wondering,
What little answers you have to speak.
What walls do you have up and why?
Can we talk for a while, over some coffee?
There’s just so much more to you than there seems.
“words can sting like anything but silence breaks the heart“

trembling all while I think about leaving you,
oh but how freeing it seems to be too.
i miss your touch; i miss the feeling,
but i can’t have any of it just staring at the ceiling.
i often think it’s time to go separate ways,
but then my head is fogged by this love, this haze,
yet tonight i don’t know that our love will last,  
so goodbye,
this is yours truly,
a lover from the past.

teach me how to love from a distance so my body that’s aching to help can stop crumbling in their ungrateful hands
loving you less might have been the sweetest gift I could have given myself

you haven’t changed
not as far as I can tell
you still look pretty in your pony tail
you’re still witty and you still laugh
how lucky she was to see you like that
we will never be love

And for a moment I was able to taste those sweet lips over shared chapstick
