i have cradled her for eons
don’t remember what my gait feels like
without her gentle weight
etched into my palms
since my baby teeth started falling
like angel tears on our hardwood floor
her and i have grown attached at the hip
siamese twins
when i try to untangle myself
she tells me i am nothing
all because a little part of my pelvis
and my extra head
are missing
when she is gone
i am forced to face the dark (k)night outside
rather than rest in the soft void that grows in my eyelids
when she makes me cry,
soft, like a tormented babe,
i will tear my eyes from the ground and meet her gaze
i fall in love with her a little bit more
every second.
my jaw has grown tense
i have been encased
in dark pit of anxiety
for too long
to remember the honeymoon phase
in mallorca
they served us heart-shaped lies
on a silver platter
i watched her mojito
turn to mint and water
stared into the abyss
and wished to be someone else
tomorrow
