feelings that stick to the roof of my rib cage
like stubborn peanut butter
I attempt to loosen with distractions from you
I go running or maybe more walking
I try to run to dislodge these thoughts
maybe I run to become something new
something unknown to you
distant and foreign, unfamiliar
what I really need is to learn a new language
so that it can take up all the space in my brain
cramp you out
I need some time reading a confusing book
so I have less time to remember
these days you're everywhere obtrusively
I am trying to shut you out and forget
I fail and I remember, hopelessly.
all but one recurring hope, I keep.
I hope you think of me -
because I am always thinking of you.
