i’m typically
good with words,
i can string them together
to create something similar
to when
you look up and see sunlight
streaming through overhead trees
while standing in the middle
of a dense forest
i’m typically good with words,
and i’ve strung plenty together about you,
but i’m getting to the point where
the letters
are slowly disappearing
from the dictionary
in my mind
you’ve taken my vocabulary
and jumbled it up
stealing x’s and o’s
and plenty of z’s
replaced with late nights
thinking of what it’d be like
to place my hand on your chest
and feel your heart beat
