your voice over the phone makes the butterflies in my stomach rush to my head

and it's the kind of blush that needs to be kissed away

but you're not here

i boiled down all my water
to make room in the cupboards for apathy
but i've been using it in every recipe
and nothing is never hot enough

i should be exploding
but i'm just eating homemade spaghetti with too much oregano

your languid lines
under my calloused hands

i call myself a poet
but i've deceived them all
i'm really just sad
and waiting for you to call

not a poem

if overthinking was a game
i'd put all my chips in
