El

e

vated

Myself with Solitude

    and solidarity

and climbed

  climbed

past suicide

or sadness

     or anger

Not who I am but what

I have FELT

Felt from you

them

    sandpaper promises

    expiration dates

abused lovers abusing

new lovers

They see tranquil

    open eyes open hands

SOFT

  But crave chaos

      they destroy

And you stay

ELEVATED

You elevate me.
