I cradle my exhale

to mother the moon.

She gazes at me.

I gaze at her

til I am full.

Did you get my message

a small hey

you never said anything back

I guess you cant

I'd like to think you love her

the way you never told me

but I told you to leave

so obedient your ego heard me

but you didn't listen

you thought about what I said

what I wanted and what you gave to her instead

I still hurt but i'm not in pain anymore

I never got closure I crave

leave me the fuck alone

or I moved on

I am waiting patiently

for you to give it to me straight

but I know it wont come

I know you cant

there is something between us unfinished

that wont let me go

just like you

I look for you from time to

but I only see things

things I don't want to see

voices that aren't yours

I live in your old neighborhood now

so I guess that's why

it's been a year since we spoke and even then

you wouldn't talk to me

I surrender my deck of cards

but you still have tricks up your sleeve

I put it all out for you to see

would you do the same for me B___y.

#poetry

for every second a minute blows

to get an hour out of the way

a day will take away twenty four

to bring the seconds back in play

05/07/2025

are you chasing your dream

so intensely

because deep down

you want it to

slip away

faster?
