I bared my heart,
love spurted everywhere.
You watched it splatter on the grass,
apologized.
You didn't want it,
not that kind.
I almost took it back,
but the ground was already soaked.
We walked away,
leaving vermilion footprints.

His casual gaze,
laser beam through my core.
Thrilling chill.
His tousled hair, scruffy jaw,
tight knot in my stomach.
Alarming warmth.
Your pianist's fingers,
bright eyes,
hardly a hair out of place.
. . .
Why then, when I look at them,
can I think only
of you?

I am angry
(that I love you,
that you don't love me
that these brownies are too sticky)
And that's
what I finally yell about.
You wrap an arm
around my shoulders
and
against reason
I melt.
I feel better.
My head rebels against this
But my heart sings
tells my body to relax and
(you walk away,
careless
fancy-free)
sink into your
absence.

Your name
in my mouth
Your face
to my eyes
Your voice
in my ears
I've got a sweet tooth
honey.

You asked for endearments,
I don't know why
When I speak your name,
it sounds like
darling
dearest
beloved
never leave me
love

Stop.
talking to her,
Stop.
dreaming of a life,
Without me.
