I fell apart. my art isn’t what I want it to be and I found your shirt in the wash. i’ve been crying into clean laundry and I keep wondering if you’re feeling a heart break this strong. I know you’re not. but god can I pray to the universe that there is some sign of your emotion. you always thought you were like your father always leaving and cycling back again and again. i will wash your shirt a million times but memories don’t clean off. please don’t coat your feelings in steel why am I writing this? why is this the way my brain cycles around and around and around why am I the over dramatic poet and you the cold hearted artist? is art and poetry hand in hand? or are they as different as the sky and the sea don’t they meet? but also stretch aimlessly on and on and on. you be the sky and I’ll be the sea. we will always touch though we stretch on and on and on. i’ve been crying into clean laundry and watching it cycle again and again and again
