the other day I remembered the phrase
if love be rough with you, be rough with love
I knew it was Shakespeare,
but I had to look up what play it was from
(I thought it might have been Much Ado About Nothing
but it was Romeo and Juliet)

(I'm still not sure
if that was a sign)

so grade 10 English is still dancing in my mind somewhere

(but all I remember thinking is
that there's a word
for what I want
to do to you)

There's blood rushing through my ear
and I can hear my heartbeat

I'm not sure if I'm sick or
just tired but

it's late enough to be unsure
if I'm at all justified
in missing you

Some say that limits
Enhance creativity
Not the opposite

How do I describe
the universe that you are
in five syllables?

no words
are right enough
to justify
scarring the first
blank
