The Last Poem About That One
There's always so much between so little words at the end.
If I knew all I had to ask was, "do you even want to be with me?"
To make it end, I would have asked that sooner.
That's how simple it could be.
Instead, I went through mental olympics.
I did all the twists and turns and jumps and tip toeing on eggshells
hoping for some sort of medal.
All I've done is lost.
It's been hell. And I've tried to keep it just mine. To myself.
And now I'm free, there are no sorrys that mean anything to me.
The future feels ahead instead of pressing against me again.
"Do you even want to be with me?"
Hooray. I've been released.

A poem I wrote and submitted before all my old blogs got erased into the ether.
Sad Face Emoji
“Are you a texter? Do you text?” you typed.
I giggled for real, replied “lol, yes.”
I miss the days of writing love letters,
and taking photographs you could hold.
Those days are gone.
I’ve done my best to adapt.
It’s all on one screen now.
It’s all one or zero now.
I’m T9ing this poem,
I’m not writing this poem.
I said only two things when you asked,
“what do you want from this?”
“For you to be happy,”
I paused. I thought. I added, “and honesty.”
I knew I had just asked too much.
Body language and intuition were enough.
I didn’t need to open the
digital Pandora’s box. But I did it anyway.
Now, the only proof we ever met
are our texts, if you kept them.
We never took a photo together.
We penned each other no letters.
I never even took a photo of you.
Maybe because I knew I could never capture the real you.
