Estranged.
it’s such a funny word to me
To be rendered strange
unusual, different, lost
as if normalcy was ever an option
much less an option back then
—————–
This estrangement, though
doesn’t feel like I’ve been made other
it is just a loss, or a wound
and rather than disembodied and distant
my feelings are sadness and confusion
and above all, a rage
fueled by a not burning
but still red-hot coal
buried in my insides
I don’t think this one is quite done. Going to sit on it for a bit.
