until the feeling's gone

torrential downpour.
rain slaps the roof above me.
i feel like i am being compressed,
chin pressed into an all-weather couch.
all the sadness i was apt to avoid
has nowhere left,

to go tonight,
i would like to go with you,
or even him or her.
all of us would be best.

together.

i miss you all,
i miss us,
i miss me.

this is not love.
this is attachment and fear of change.
this is want,
for the way things used to be.

ill-advised:
come back to me.
just be with me
until i can survive alone.

potential:
leave me, let me drift away.
i won't remember this years from now.
lie to me so i can sleep,
alcohol in my blood, hope in my dreams.
