Dawn in the Orange Grove

The Sadness Will Last Forever

It always feels like giving up

There is no relief

No rush

There is a desperate smile

Promises

Hundreds of them

Flutter to the floor

Drifting

I sit at a table till 3am with you

Talking shit

Scribble on a newspaper clipping

Because I can’t stand to be on my own again

I can never escape

Distract and delay and confuse

But I always return

Part of me wants to

There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel that no one else has a right to blame us. It is the confession, not the priest that gives us absolution.
