Get out of my head you
Ignorant, thoughtless, angry,
Heartbreak of a memory.
Forest pond eyes
To drown me in.
I like the taste of air.
Usually.
Probably.
****.

Get back in the box.

I love you, steadfastly
Like the moon misses the sun
Reflective and from a distance.

Wondering I wish
When our paths cross again
Who are you, I don't know you anymore

Perhaps, I never did
You move paths I cannot fathom
But never did I wrong your damaged heart

I never burnt as bright
And out of control
I know myself far better now

You are separate and beautiful
Let your joy guide your actions
From afar

If ever it gets too heavy
Find me
I will lift you up again

Just when I think
I have mastered numbness
I remember love,
See his receding back,
And I feel again

When I say listen
They all think netflix
I don't mean stories.

Last night I dreamt of ticking time bombs
I awoke with your name on my lips.

Sweetheart I say
Romance is a dead art
CPR can only sustain us for so long.

I'm going to listen to the masters play

I love my hipbones,
Beautiful and sharp.
They make women inhale.
They say.

I love their eyes,
For all the same reasons.
