Contradictions

by J. Amarylis

Aching 
Do I long for you
Or am I still bruised?

Lovely
She is here for me
Bringing back the sun

Desolate
Sorrow left me here
And you are to blame

Joyous
I have found myself
And I have lost you

Ruined
Is it too late now?
I’m beyond repair

Weightless
I am finally,
Finally free of you

Listless
Lost and searching now
Does she want me too?

Hopeful
I can call the sun
I can know myself

Ire
Cold rage, hot anger
Directed all at you

Peaceful
I don’t want you now
I don’t need your weight

Healing
Love is worth it
Now I will love myself
