Matter, Energy, and Life of Michaela A. Castello.

Category: Energy

Hobbies and creative pursuits that re-energize me.

  • Reduced

    I used to make you feel safe,Encouraged you to share,To trust me.Somewhere along the wayWe switched places:I became the same as everyone else.

  • Collage

    I collected the invitations To events I had missed: Weddings, showers, parties All unattended, reply cards unsent. Their photos covered my wall.

  • Dissimilar

    I opened my soul to you,Shared my secrets. You listened and smiled,Told you me you were similar.Knowing all the whileYou were not.

  • Liability

    I let myself Be drawn in,Relaxed my guard.But yours was still up.

  • Not Anymore

    Everything we didEverything we saidEverywhere we wentAll in the past.Now when I see youYour face reminds meOf everything I lost.

  • Unprotected

    Vulnerable,So very vulnerable.And all for what?Connection?Love?I was safer when I buried my heart.

  • Tempered

    I emerged from the forgeShiny and strong.Everything I loved burned away.

  • Last Visit

    It has been a decade since we last held hands.Music filled the room,You danced the Twist,We laughed and took pictures.I am different now,More gray hairs, like yours.You don’t have to recognize me.Would I even recognize myself?There were so many times I picked up the phone to call.Letters I started and never sent.None of it matters…
