After Closure

Closure is a story we tell ourselves after the ending fails.

Unending stories,

pretending they’re common.

Enclosed.

Closure was never.

Hearts embarked

on a voyage

without lifeguards.

What are the odds of closure

once you’ve moved on?

What’s the cost of knowing

we still bond?

Fond of your truth—

the venture of your days,

the frames, the ratios.

Seeing what you see

without you.

Daydreaming inside reality.

Learning

how to live

without you.

Congratulations.
