Sorry.

Hi there. I've decided to take a hiatus from poetry. It's resulted in my malingering on a recent breakup that, in all honesty, has shattered my entire understanding of my future and my self. I am a recovering alcoholic and recently I have had a relapse, so as you can tell this unhealthy lingering is one that is not good for me. As a result, I intend to just live, avoiding the pen like the plague for a while. I recognize the spiral I'm going down and the last time I fell this way, it resulted in a (luckily failed) attempt at my own life. In an attempt to avoid that outcome  I'm heading it off. I am miserable. I may be capable of happiness eventually but never quite as happy as I was with my former partner. But they have made it clear that I have no place in their life, and I must respect that.

Sorry for the inconvenience,
Alexander Johnson.
