03.25.19 (present)

I watched my coffee
Overflow
As it poured from 
The dispenser.
I had deleted all
Social media
From my phone. 
I was trying to
Run away
From what I had seen:
Of love
For another.
I guess also
To be more
Present,
But I was 
Miles away;
Trapped 
In the slow moving 
Consciousness
That is 
Grief, 
denial.
Where 
Midmorning’s mundanity
Leads to feelings 
Of regret,
And
Sadness
Creeps up like
A specter; 
A reminder of
Devastating failure.
I thought that
By ridding myself
Of that cursed media
I would somehow 
Not think of 
you 
as much
But alas,
Here I am:
Sitting at my desk
On the verge of 
Tears.
