I still love you like a puppy, and its sickening
won't I always
be so happy
to waste my last
12% of battery on you,
even if I end up biking
home alone for
a few miles
I'll know that you
are blind to the fact
that you have me wrapped around
your fucking fingers
and I'll just text you all
of the time, waiting
for you to realize that
I would do anything you say.
now bare with me
because I am so unfaithfully excited for you
to reply and say something like
"tell me the truth"
this way I can have a chance to say
"i'd really like to date you,
and hold your hand this time"
before you can think
"maybe we're just friends"
I have tried to love you.
But you have become
little more than an evening in pale watercolors
the shadow of Monet.
I have decided to leave the lilies as they are.
Perhaps in later years, with desperation,
fearing the thinness of my thin limbs,
the creaking of my spider fingers,
I will go to wander those gardens again,
hoping for the promise of Eden,
clutching beads in my weary fist.
For now, you are fleeting as mermaid song,
brief as tall spires in pink and green beneath the sea
I can never touch them.
Our connection fades,
a violet mirage
disappearing within the swells.
A wave breaks
