red taillights graze the asphalt,                                                            shaving off whatever we thought                                                                                                             was now. the violent bloom of neon sanguine dissolves into the thick darkness,                                    the dense night sky that the moon slices           through                                                                                                                straight onto you                                    (so piercingly it could spark a fire)                                    just as the silence envelopes me into                                    bitter and total solitude                                                                                              I forget to let go, I forget to forget. Time wraps itself around me and ribbons me with memories, maybe this is all you see when you look at me. Maybe you are waiting to unwrap me. Constellations uncoil and stars dance on the polished marble floor freely. effortlessly, closer.                                                                        Closer now. Just as reclusively as the moon, watching the stars occupy her room as undefined as the horizon swallowing the foggy spheres of red light and as nostalgically as the night I wait for you.
