and it's so fragile
so let's start with
two-thirds of
our faces
every few hours

i see that you have
now graduated from a
two-hour response time
to leaving me on opened.

keep her waiting
she keeps me waiting

i'll keep her waiting

fifty seconds
twenty minutes
one hour

she'll keep me waiting

fifty hours
twenty days
one year

and i know
that to you
it's just a game

but you know
exactly how to
make my heart ache
Josephine Wilea Mar 2020
icy blue eyes
fixed just below
the camera

almost
but not quite
calling me home.

Are you here yet?

Sincerely, Eli S.

Today I received
A pocket-warmed Hershey kiss
Not permitted by the laws of veganism.
An obligatory Orange Crush from a friend
Only because I bought one for her.
A fresh wave of desire
The sun colored your hair golden.
A complimentary punch in the gut
That smile used to be reserved for me.
A dose of Focalin
To focus on something other than you.
Happy f*cking Valentine's Day
