i see flashes of the future

that disappear whenever i step forward

 

so i stand still

and watch the lightshow

of things that are and could have been

10 Pounds

i lost 10 pounds when you left me

my shirts fit better than ever

my waist is back to a 32

i’ve never found myself so beautiful

who would have known you only weighed 10 pounds
