Thursday used to get me out of bed in the morning,
like coffee brewing two rooms away.
Like sunlight stabbing between the drapes,
and time screaming from the night stand.
Thursday was the precise amount of drunk
anyone ever wants to be before being ruined
by addiction or feelings.
Thursday was a bender
without a throbbing end or shame recollected.
Thursday made life seem full of possibility,
in a way the world is never quite seen again
once newborn eyes age.
Thursday became part of me,
like an arm or a leg
I still try to move after its been taken away.
Thursday was my vice,
like carbohydrates and wine.
A wishing well
that swallowed pain instead of pennies.
Thursday used to be my girl.
We never dated,
but, she could make me feel less alone in the world
just being within arm’s reach
and never killing the dream of maybe
like a bug that’s strayed indoors and forgotten to leave.
Thursday was intangible
when I’ve never wanted to get my hands on anything more.
Thursday was my heart,
that’s now sick and pale;
staring down the rest of the week like a barrel.
Her absence playing a round of roulette with my mood
spinning fast as the guns chamber.
My week now is a day removed
that goes from Wednesday to Friday
like a word abridged in the dictionary
to make room for slang.
My Thursday has migrated to another time zone,
tangled up with hers like a ball of yarn
unable to be sewn.
She’s out there, I know…
becoming somebody’s Saturday night
or Sunday morning.
But, I will always have loved her first. _________________ shemovesme.wordpress.com

I promise I'm not gonna give you the "better to have loved and lost blah blah blah' rubbish Brach.... but I will give you some advice that a wise woman on Mels gave to me once....she promised me that although it might not get better, it wouldn't get worse...just different.
Keep writing hon.

I just love how you write. This is brilliant, however, I am so sorry for what's
happened to you. I echo what MG said, but that doesn't help right now, I know.
Just know we are here for you whenever you need us.
