“Ridiculously and offensively in love
Openly aggressively and disgustingly
Happy.”
Someone once wished me
Kissing in the coffee shop
Laughing at the movies
Fighting in the parking lot
Fucking like we just met
Making love the likes we’d never forget
I remember
There
It was good
It never really meant anything more
There were fun times
More bad than good
Reasons
Why you’re not here now
Why I'm not
There
You had many different faces
Different voices and shapes
Still
You moved in the same manner
Spoke the same words as the former
Disguised them in spiritual simile
Methodical
Monotonous
Metaphor
You can not change your soul
You can not hide from those whom you’ve sired
You can not shield yourself from those whose spirits you’ve nursed
Attempted enucleation of my third eye
I’ve already given love my heart
