Nowhere Somewhere

-Nowhere Somewhere-
by
Keaton Foster



Shush
There
Where
Silence
Nowhere
Nowhere
Is not a place
Somewhere
Is all that is known
By both
You and I
Male
Female
Husband
Wife
A once unbreakable bind
Broken
Shattered
Dismantled
We
You and I
Us
Lovers
Of another time
Strangers
Now intertwined
What we had
Cannot die
Cannot be destroyed
Only displaced
For the remainder
Of our livable days
I will miss you
I will miss myself more
Lost
What a hell of a thing
A terrible destination
Between Somewhere
And nowhere
Between a full heart
And an empty soul
Between every thought
And every possible denial
God
This is hell
Not any form of Heaven
To this
An impossible prison
I’ve been sentenced
I will leave you alone
Not because I want to
But because
You want me to
I love you
And lovers are fools
Doing for one and another
Without any regard
For themselves
For each of the other
You wouldn’t know
How could you
Easier it seems
Like a broken dream
A mistake
No longer happening
Bouncing back
Rebounding from it all
Is what you are good at
Not me
Shush
There
Silence
Where
Nowhere
Nowhere
Is not a place
Somewhere
Is all that I know
Somewhere
Is where I am
Where I will always be
Without you
How can this be
Unsure I scream
Nowhere somewhere
An idea that I
Am still quite
Uncomfortable with…
