My finger nail polish lasted longer
Than any relationship
One can claim
To have had


-em vidar

I think you’ve cut your hair
Because
Her fingers look different
As they run through


-em vidar

I wonder what it will be like
To look back on those nights we spent
Talking about reality while chasing our dreams
I wonder if you've found it now
If you're still a dreamer like me
Or
Has reality taken you from me
Again?

-em vidar

Because I am me
And you are you
And that
Seems to be enough


-em vidar

How did Shakespeare get it so wrong?
Love was not in sonnets
But in smaller moments
Written for deaf ears.


-em vidar

I wanted to be sorry
For not picking up this time
Or the last
I'm not for the time before that
But maybe again for the time before that

You wanted me to be sorry
To hold your hand when you were scared
To pat you on the back for any accomplishment
To lie when he asks where you are
To fight for the wrongs you felt were done against you

I wanted you to be sorry
For the first time and the times after
For ignored opportunities
For the hours I gave you instead of me
For making me feel that I
Wasn't
Good
Enough

But now

I only want to hear goodbye


-em vidar

Shallow and content
With stolen glances through windows
In halls
Or simply not at all
