Like a silent bomb
you rage

War

on a love you will never own.

In  the midst of falling,

a discovery,
the exponential potential for human apathy

Sinking in the waning moon
ready to leave for ages,
I’ve been preparing for the plummet

Sabotage this emotional parachute

now your hand out
An attempt at a handout
greedy for a pardon
perpetual self preservation.

You used to be my favorite cliché
I was only one of many for you


I’m down the stairs and on the highway.

I’ll spend my whole life explaining-


Tell someone about me
Tell everyone.

I wanted to be the one you didn’t see
coming.

I lost days
Weeks
Months


Years
Learning sign language

You were sightless all along
