SEEN

“The only thing that matters isright now. This moment. Right,  Sarah Lynn?”

These were the last words I said to her.

The lights turn on. A name engraved. A speech to deliver. Talking about her is easy. Saying goodbye is easy. Telling how much I loved her is easy.

Easier than being alone.

As long as they watch me, I know where to stand.

As long as they watch me, I know who to be.

But what happens when the light goes out?

When there’s no one left in front of me?

An actor.

A horse.

A face.

A piece of shit.

Who am I when no one is watching me?

I should have figured it out with you, Sarah Lynn…
