I cover myself
in explanations
of why I spilled
a thousand I love you’s over you
the moon fell between words tonight
with naïve whispers hidden in vacant thoughts
empty skin
S t r e c h e D
over brittle bones
content in repetition
too much space closes in around me
at a time when poetry died
beneath the smooth words of sharpened tongues
denial shatters
like glass
as realization grabs my throat
drifting in oceans of blank pages and cursor blinks
I saved your echoes
inside empty pockets
behind cracked smiles
with eyes half full of hope
while all along drowning in dead-ends
and a thousand repeated I love you’s
