Rehab centre in the hub of the CBD.
I walked out
90 pounds
Sunken eyes
ample lean flesh
Oversized shirt,
oversized coat
and pants that
weren't once
oversized.
She stood there,
the same person
with the same
tests taken,
except I was leaving
and she was staying.
We uttered some meaningless,
fragile porcelain goodbyes;
I told her I'd visit.
She knew I wouldn't.
Neither of us said a thing about the situation.
Neither of us wanted too.

Other than meaninglessly expressing how much i enjoyed this piece, there's a typo in the last line. the 'too' should have been 'to'

Limbo locations are always poignant when you can connect with the others there.

Wow, this poem really has got it all.. love lost, or perhaps a facade seen through; illness and recovery; a metamorphosis of a new self..
Beautiful poem
