A moment...

Leaning against the bar, the feeling of smoothe wood worn and chipped with memories
drags against my skin slightly as I shift to get a better look at my friends gathered near.
There's something timeless and yet unique to this moment that deserves at least a nod
as the colors coming from my friends trip smoothely down my throat like this crown and coke.
My father said to me that sometimes that's really all we can ask for, happy moments like these,
and while I've always fought with him on the meaning of life and all its subtle charities,
I have to agree with him on this one. He's a man in a man's world, but maybe it's true... 
My mother always said we were too alike and all our strife stems from being so alike.
The older I get, the less I know, and yet the more I enjoy learning that I know so little.
It doesn't frighten me, this space that I find myself in lately and I really don't know why.

A few weeks ago
something in me broke
and it wasn't something
that needed healing...
No it was something that
didn't break so much as
break free of me and
let me go.
let go of me.
let go.

The last thing
it will see of me
is a lady on her throne
with a wry smile and
a casual wave goodbye
You just won't see
what you want to see so
don't look back
don't come back
don't look.
