you are my favorite non-fiction
and darling, I've lived fantasies...
I have fictionalized feelings...
but what we shared was unstaged
-unscripted
something found in between the sheets and "I'm sorry's"
we redefined the line
we cut the strings
found ourselves lost amidst the friends and the lovers
like the rough draft of a Hemingway novel.
what we are is made for the storybooks, my sweet.
we witnessed monotony and wrote of miracles
never intoxicated, but always impaired
we could overflow libraries-
flood them with our stories of how the sea swallowed up * all those * l i v e s...
and we had barely missed making history
we begged the other to simply save us...
starving for the intrigue of a good fiction
- dying to live a story worth telling...
