I just want to numb out

She said

and then

she never said anything

Again
You and I

will never be together

and

I am tethered to you
this is what it looks like



barren

blank

in absentia
She looks just like your type

The kind you leave eventually

     because she’s not me

I will see    you     again

.
You’ll do it to me every time …. … .



the pinch and burn

can’t

not
I had the strangest thought
as I pulled up to the stop sign

You lifted your finger as if to wave
when I signaled you to proceed from the
four way stop

and I thought
“What if that was a potential ….”
the possibilities endless
and the moment lost
so sad that I can’t share this joy with you

telling that you’re not here
