my heart alights like a glow stick whenever I see you
yet,
glow sticks must break to achieve their fluorescence
and a glow stick last only if for a night
a slight in our daily schedule
a slip in the synchronicity
a slur in spoken word
until they are left behind, the carcasses of the party
as you elapse into adulthood
and I relapse in this primeval state of living
what will it be like without you walking my hallways of thought?
as one has harbored themselves like a hermit in my ribcage
will the pressure of you be relieved with your passing?
or will the infinite ache
of those who have been driven apart by circumstance
fill the hole in my chest?

truly sublime,
you will never read these words
the only thing that belongs to you I can still call mine
jesus help me
I hate to rhyme.
