Gold & silver

Often

I

Think of you not thinking of me

My heart stops

swallows

holds itself together with tiny hands.

And you got your license

after the fact -

Us.

You found a job,

probably found happiness

when you lost me.

I washed down

the rivers in your heart

The ones I had thought

were gold and silver fountains that we drank from.

You sit

eating dinner slowly

laughing at the television

licking your knife clean.

But when we both watch the same sun set

I am

quite empty.

I Think of you not thinking of me -

When will I

Think of me.
