My feelings towards you confuse me,

My feelings towards you confuse me,
or at least they would
if I ever bothered to think about them.

I don’t.

You are no pinnacle, no tip of the mountain,
no pinpoint that is my thought-life.
No, you are not on my mind.

Though, you’re through it.

You reside, you
permeate.

Like a soundtrack constantly lacing its song forever
in the background-
Like the home chord in the key of my mind’s
melody, that cannot be lifted out of any measure-
Like the tonic note on which all else falls-

You

I have nothing to say-
No logical sentence,
no emotional premise.
None.

You…
exist.

Perhaps that is enough.

    • Lol, I wrote this after choosing to break up with a man, but I married him a year and a half later. I think you can see the possibility of that outcome in this poem. Thanks as always for the reading, liking, engaging, and commenting!
