34 words too long

with or without you

wither without you

with her without you

wilt here without you

*

i’d lay down if i wasn’t already buried

under the poetry that was 35 words

but had it all already

even the planets outside that knock at my window

with hopes of meeting my eyes

blank on this screen

and seeing her with someone else

in a white dress that i was sure was stained

for i had bought it

thinking about how it’d fit and form and

remind her of me and my thoughts

which are that i am alone

as the planets

connected by a pull that would

consume us at its core if it could

*

forget

forgive me love

for i forgave love

that forgot me
