i can't
find the words
the words
i need to say
yet i have to find
with in me
the courage
not to stay
i couldn't find
the me i needed
and you
were lost in you
so much we
could have done
and so much we
didn't do
i can't find
the easiness
that
i used to cherish
every more is now
a tense from before
hope hasn't faded
it’s perished
i'll never have
all the answers
to the questions
i don’t want to ask
so being free
and being me
won't be
another task

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Wow… Indeed reflective. There is so much depth here Brenton. Great work.
The only time you can be brave is when you’re scared—courage isn’t necessary except when we’re afraid. Walk through the fire. I swear you’re not alone.
I’m sorry for your heartache, Brenton! It’s visceral through your poetry! Sending love! 🩷✨
