just writing your name
I start to cry
alone
in the restaurant
this joyful
beautiful man
plucked from my life
quickly
effortlessly
the bandaid ripped off.
I want to love him more
I want to save him from himself
I want us to be free birds together
the bandaid is ripped off
and the sting

we walk slow
we have all the time in the world

sitting ackwardly
on the grass
chasing the sunshine
remember that day in the park
where we first kissed

us both yelling and crying
peeling apart our tangled lives
the grasshopper
poised
slender wrists
ready to attack
she viciously rips off the head of her mate.

hold my breath
remember to breathe
let go
will we make it?
the plane takes off
my stomach drops
I am free.

feel the love we once had
feel the stabbing pain in my heart

muggy day
I breath in
your car
exhaust
biking
sweat drips
down my back
I am late.
