Back Pocket

Reality left me alone
to catch my breath
as numbers flowed out of
your pen

A few days was all it took
for a spark to light off
the chemical reaction;
& numbness became my

substitute for you

Our eyes met and
my courage's all used up
to hold that gaze for just
one more second

Adrenaline swept across
my face as I gave my
biggest smile;
my trembling hands
stuffed your number
in my jeans' pocket

Scrawled nothings on pieces of
rough paper feels so
heavy in my back pocket
