When my friend told me one-worded poems don't exist, I looked her in the eyes and said "Kevin."

Kevin loves to read
Kevin loves to read James Patterson
Kevin extremely studious
Kevin beautiful ocean eyes
Kevin gorgeous smile
Kevin didn't even need braces
Kevin dangerous
Kevin took my heart without warning
Kevin "you're crazy Melissa, I love it!"
Kevin mysterious
Kevin don't tell my parents
Kevin 20 isn't that much older!
Kevin sneaking out
Kevin 3am at the park
Kevin kissing like a movie
Kevin kissing
Kevin kissing
Kevin kissing a girl
Kevin a girl that isn't me
Kevin told me he loved me a week before
Kevin says it was a mistake
Kevin what kind of woman
Kevin would I be
Kevin to take you back
Kevin it's been hard
Kevin my breath
Kevin my light
Kevin gone
Kevin new girlfriend
Kevin she's the size of my pinky
Kevin she's the one you kissed huh
Kevin stop saying you miss me
Kevin stop contacting me
Kevin you don't still love me
Kevin you have a girlfriend
Kevin and it isn't me this time
Kevin she's actually your age
Kevin she's also not as fun as me
Kevin I need to move on
Kevin I'm not being the other girl to the other girl
Kevin once a cheater
Kevin always a cheater

broken skin

never solves the problems

but I still break it



dark red

never solves the problems

but I still show it



self harm

never solves the problems

but I still do it

I need a friend
of a different gender
to share mixtapes with
and we can fall in love
but never in lust
we wouldn't risk
what is already perfect

please

call me up
at three in the morning
I will not mind

ask me for advice

"I think I love her"
"please help me"
"I need you"

I will help you
I strive for your happiness
and
I hope you would strive for mine

It's 12:53 a.m.


Your smile is

all I can see

in my dark,

quiet room.



Your laugh is

sounding so

vivid.


Are you

next to me?


Of course not.


You are

with her.


It's 12:55 a.m.


It took me

two minutes

to remember

that you

aren't mine.

— The End —
