i want to be something you can catch
and then let go,
like a reasonable yet fleeting thought
hovering, hesitating above the keyboard;
i want you to type me up through and through,
and then erase me completely,
like i had never even mattered;
i want to jab a neat whole
into your heart,
so you won't feel any hurt;
and later have you show it off
like a 'manly' scar.

i want to be something you can love
(moderately).
