When you left, it made me think about the way geologists had to come up with words for how the continents broke apart.
You caused a wildfire in my chest but
ever since you started dreaming about
somebody else
I've been coughing up ashes

Q
'Hi.'
Hi?!
A ****** HI IS WHAT YOU GIVE ME?
The gains, the drops, the climb; struggle.
How can this calamity be my reality?
Pour me into a cup,
Drink me like liquor
Let the world smell me on your breath
Let them feel my mark
Breathe me and and swallow me whole
Lost inside your soul..

But NO
You aren't good for me, not one bit
This itch, it's just an itch
Fight it, will it to shrink and wither
Let it timber
Drown no longer with your white whale
Abandon ship; don't---------fail.

*s.q.

.
i was hopeful
but you made me lose hope
i hope
you know that.
hopefully,
you do
'cause i can't tell you.
They say all sad people write
I am a writer though not sad.

You are my happy thought,
I write poem after poem just by thinking of you.

Only that I wasn't writing them on papers,
I make them tattoes of my heart.
