No one fears losing me.
No one stays awake
with my name clenched between their teeth.
I could vanish tonight
and nothing would be postponed.
No calls delayed.
No prayers misfired.
My absence would not interrupt love,
because love never scheduled me.
I am not anchored
in anyone’s panic.
Not guarded by a pulse
that breaks at the thought of me gone.
I exist without collateral damage.
I can disappear
because no one has invested
their fear in me.
That is the proof.

No one fears losing me.
No one stays awake
with my name clenched between their teeth.
I could vanish tonight
and nothing would be postponed.
No calls delayed.
No prayers misfired.
My absence would not interrupt love,
because love never scheduled me.
I am not anchored
in anyone’s panic.
Not guarded by a pulse
that breaks at the thought of me gone.
I exist without collateral damage.
I can disappear
because no one has invested
their fear in me.
That is the proof.
