You and I
We have a rocky relationship
Which of us is the sediment,
Settling?
I don’t want to settle
But I want to settle down some day

Blazing sunset
Nobody rides off into
Write this off
As an exemption
Handcuffed to the radiator
Left me in the living room
But after that night
I called it the dying room
That’s what it felt like,
Anyway

You took too long to get ready
Took literature too literally
Happily after what we went through
Happily comes after never
Gonna happen
You swear we were gonna happen
But the plot twist never came
No resolution and
No ******
Just a crisis
Always crises
Jesus Christ
Why are you crying?
Dry your eyes
There’s not time now
For confession
Say I’m sorry
And move on

Love comes in waves
In movements
Like light it is particles too
Fill the air
Seen and unseen
Scientific but more inexplicable
Then your childhood religion

In wanting to hold you
I held on too tightly to
An image of you
That was never really you
I saw it vanish before my mind
Could comprehend the fact
That you were fiction
