False – Written August 2023 (Aged 48)

False

i find her closeness
but am prone –
to this type of behaviour
but unlike my past –
no one has to be a saviour
i get deep –
and emotional –
with people in my life
i find her true connection
but the closeness takes flight
because these false dawns
do not offer a perfect sunrise
they fill you up –
and it find empty spots inside
but i do find her connection
a love-lorn electrician
an intense personal clinician
an open life delitescent
i find her connection
and parts of me drift away

James Garratt – August 2023
