Untitled [Did I]

i.

You wore easy like,

Go Going Gone

Like I was afraid to love you

And not ready to own me

So our skin felt like

New leather gloves; stiff and foreign


ii.

I brought into the definition of

No Not Never

Because I refused to surrender

Would fight you like cancer and sleep at 6 am

This wasn’t supposed to last past Thursday


It ached to be Friday.

That was the end.


iii.

We were like

Loved Lived Life

Moon light at noon

Un-kept promises of spring

Forbidden drunken corner kisses

And moments apart felt like suicide at day break.


iv.

We bathed in

Fall Falling Fallen

Like common sense was a concept we couldn’t spell

Like Caution threw to the wind

Wrapped in a cumulus cloud

Just to be broken

And loving each other is all we knew.
