reverse

what if we woke up to
find the sun rising in the west?

would i be your lover
and her your second best?

if the world started
spinning in reverse...
would you go back
and meet me first?

i
allowed to admit
these letters
are losing meaning
everyday?

some days
i don't want to be me

some days i don't want
to be a person

permanence

there will be no
photos
labels
or diamond rings
to validate
the permanence
of the life we spent together

only the fact
that i never would have chosen
to do it without you

almost

i guess the thing
that hurt the most
wasn’t you choosing her

it was the way
you almost didn’t

i felt like you used me
as a distraction
when you two weren’t
doing well

all the tuesdays

you make forever
seem less like a concept,
and more like
all the tuesdays

the blood, mine

the knife in my back was
yours

the fingerprints
hers

the blood
mine

terminal velocity

we hit terminal velocity

where we couldn’t

physically fall

any faster

and then we hit

the ground

i guess that was to be
expected
