Among Other Things

Now that you're gone I've switched back to non-waterproof mascara; does that mean I cry less?

Now that you're gone I've wrestled with anger and rage, but seen the good in humankind; does that mean the hate depreciates?

Now that you're gone I've started writing and reading and learning again, I've started formulating and calculating and analyzing again; is that the formula for happiness?

Now that you're gone I've slept less and spent too much time dreaming; does that mean one day happily ever after prevails?

Now that you're gone I've toasted to life and to change and to good things to come, to new beginnings and to starting over. Again. Only this time not with you.

What! Oh what! What have you done other than play catalyst and wrecking ball.
