I act, I react—
I did not impact your life the exact way you did mine.
You attract me.

I act, I react—
You were the one fact
I could never forget
and I was abstract.
I know I was only there to distract you
from your other lover
who did not love you
as much as I.

I act, I react
and I follow the path
that subtracts
you
from
me.

are we ever going to change?

Ask me why the tea cups have faces on them
Ill tell you how they laugh at things when its not appropriate for me to.

Ask me about why they are filled with shots of tequila
and I'll say that tea doesn't make this conversation any easier.

Your presence seeped into every aspect of my life,
leaving memories behind
that seems to haunt me like tidal waves;
but I am no swimmer,
and my emotions drowns me.

I see you everywhere,
the memories of you is always on replay,
but the stop button is broken
and I am forced to watch it.

But that's what you are now,
just memories.

So as I walk alone at the path going home
that you and I used to take,
my loneliness tries to overwrite our moments together.

But my presence cannot overpower yours,
because you have imprinted yourself in every aspect of me.

You were part of my definition,
and now I'm simply a part of an explanation that used to be whole.

The promise
of emptiness
Is no reward for
the miles you
Walked
on daggers.

Upon waking
I fall into useless
pieces. Waiting
for the lies to
disprove themselves.
You didn't leave.
There is no chasm
between us,
No need to cry
tired tears.
Resume that
fragile
future.
Wake up.
Love me again.
