ARSON
You loved me,
that much I knew.
I read the messages
after we split.
While I tried to move on
you tried for us to heal.
But the cracks were too wide
for normal glue.
I cried with every message,
every snap,
every text,
because I could feel
how much you loved me,
but why wasn’t it enough
when we were together?
You were the best,
I said,
when we first met.
Because six months in
you were the worst.
Instead of ending it
you said It’s just for a little while
pretending
there was no service
ten miles down the road
as you spent your time
messaging her,
convincing her
I was
delusional
for believing
you were still mine.
I guess I should have known
when our conversations ended
and began
with I was pretty
that you didn’t actually want me
you wanted my body.
Maybe I am broken,
shattered glass amongst plush carpet
pushed deep into the skin of your toes,
just a bother
as I cling to you.
Please,
don’t remove me.
I wanted to ride around
or hike to that spot
to look at the stars,
but you had used me to my full extent,
and didn’t care if I sat on your bed
with no food,
thirsty,
nothing to do,
until I slipped under the covers
hiding my tears
as I knew the end was near.
Falling for you is like climbing a brick wall,
my fingers grasping the cracks as I pull myself up.
I slip and tear open the flesh on the tips
of my fingers. I want to give up,
but I yearn for you more.
I climb again, a handhold here, a foothold
there. I climb higher this time and cling
to the wall as it crumbles around me.
I fall
and am crushed.
I never took you for a runner,
and yet you still took off with pieces of me
crumbled and torn,
leaving me in rubble,
coating me in dust,
that I’m still washing away.
You haunt me in ways
I never thought someone could remain.
Your scent clings to the bedsheets
and as much as I will it to go,
it stays.
I touch your things
taking them in one last time,
one last sight,
one last feel,
one last feel as I cry into a shirt
I
