i scraped orange off the side of your face, sticky setting into the cyclops behind your eyes.
smirking, blue, white, red, goldfish. ponds after thought.
we floated; currents rippling the water and you making my toes curl up into little bows, a place setting on our bridal table.
i was made of glass, headstrong, and trapped in your empty words. trying to sleep on broken windows, we fell.
running out of complicated formulas, i tried on your face for a show, melting into your skin and laying across a basement couch.
we had all the right words, at all the wrong times.
(i could never be your one; i lied about it every time.)
the winter faded into spring, leaf clots stuck into the drain pipes and i watched from my window, stubbornly refusing to come down. sunlight broke my eyes in two and i wanted nothing but to hide my head and run.
you were everything? you know that. everything, everything.
i keep lying to myself to make it better, i keep pretending that i deserve all of this, but i don't. it was my fault, every time. all of it, all of it. i don't belong here, or anywhere. i don't understand these things that i have and i don't know where you are now.
the air outside is soft, it breaks around me and curls, beads form on my hair and i smile, from the nothing, from the recognition, from bitter disappointment. you are nothing, i should be everything.
i am nothing, you are everything.

fucked up.
i don't even know what this is, it doesn't count as poetry.
so why you gotta stand there, looking like the answer now?
