and there she is

widows-thrill
or devil's backbone,
some sort of specimen
hog-tied to the sediment

combs her hand
with nails bit past the quick
through her hair
til she thinks there's not one incongruent strand

dragging her feet
down the primrose path
off on the hard way into heaven

I know I'm good for something
I just haven't found it yet

"It doesn't matter, she loves me as well"

I forget what it was to kiss
the kind of kiss
that lasted for ever.

I remember embrace
embracing
a lover.

I now live
a fond farewell
the goodbyes until a forever.

I rid myself
of every shard,
every little piece
that reminds me of
you.
Knowing
one day;
there will be a me
put back together.
complete
and whole.
a me,
you have
never
touched before.

A hug
A smile
Even being noticed
Would be nice
maybe it’s because she looks older than me
maybe it’s because she has shinier hair and the figure of a model
maybe it’s because she’s from a big city with fancy lights and expensive taste
maybe it’s because she has a softer voice than me...softer lips
maybe it’s because she’s smarter, has more friends, likes more of the same things that you do
and
maybe you were tired of me for the night
maybe you wanted the thrill of the chase
maybe you wanted to try something new

so many different ways the story could have played out
but i’ll never know
