sweet dreams

 
sometimes late at night
those sleepless ones
you will hug tightly a large pillow
imagining it’s a fusion of
all of them
all the one’s who’ve left you
for others
because you weren’t stable enough
you didn’t have a five year plan
you were too intense
too sensitive
too dreamy,
too dramatic,
seemingly unorganized, destructive, chaotic, anxious
just too crazy, you’d think

then you’d let go of the large pillow you had
 been caressing and think

those were the very reasons they were initially drawn
to you and
ultimately,
why they left
