X, me out.
Eradicate, eliminate.
Just X me out.
It's not too late to anticipate.
We both have made our mistakes.

One time?
It was great.
Couldn't wait for us to go on dates.

Then things changed?
Love just wasn't the same.
And we both saw the changes.

So X me out now.
And we call it a day.
What else?
Is there to say?

She sees him immediately
She always does
He does too by the way
They're still connected
For ever
And anyway
She grabs her phone
She pretends
He hates her for that
For ever
And always

when you call me by my name

it’s a warm cup of coffee on a cold morning
the scent wafting room to room
the sleep in my eyes just falls away
and although I can’t see you
I can hear the smile on your lips
and I can feel the warmth in your chest

when you call me by my name

space is never ending
between you and me
stretching and bending
finding ways to grow
quietly moving
and expanding

when scenes
pixelate
halt in a cell's
frozen scream
slow-motion rage
cloaks grief

do earth's plates
shift at all
respond to pain
torn out of shape
in savage roar

no

we matter to ourselves
on some days
while he or she
reads the code
to check the tides

oscillate in
crawl space
hidden
in island habitat's
darkened cave

we try to breathe
solitary venture
as days run out
leaving dust
and bones

in silence

as a new
dawn
rises
