I ripped my heart out
then put it on your silver platter
and all you can say is
“ I’ll text you later .”

A wolf in the wild,
A woman in a concrete jungle
put a mirror
in front of one,
And the reflection will show the other.

Everything in place,
A single book out
Made my world cave.
I tried to reason with my mind
But it always struggled to be right.
So I pushed my finger nails
Into the bed of my palms
And ten,
little,
****** half- moons
Lighted my way home.

you said you didn’t want to lose me
I was all you ever had
And while this is all very flattering
You really can’t lose what you never had.
