We go back to
Are attracted to
What we know

Our beings return to what is familiar

Cycles are both healing and confining.
Some we must accept and celebrate
Others we must identify and break

I find loneliness
Often

Freed from a long relationship
Where I felt lonely
In freedom and loss
In crowds and new or known faces
In solitude and in all the slits of life
I find myself falling back
Returning to lonely.
