Good Mourning

We are two tragic souls
           looking for sanctuary
        in each other, desperately,
     that’s how I know we’re both lonely

     & it is noteworthy, how the world
         fell around us like a curtain drawn,
    
        I’d be suspicious too.

          Sometimes the universe defies
          everything you thought you knew
          with something simple,
               Unknown, but familiar.
           
          I think inside we mourn because
     we’ve returned again, however many
    times we have over,
               just to reignite pain,
           disappointment and
                 in my case
          destructive tendencies

                         the rain is lightly tapping
                    and it shouldn’t be
                                     60 degrees
                                in November
