the smoke from his
last cigarette gets
tangled in my curls
and I carve my words
into the inside of his
cheek.
I find him in the
most truthful place
of my being
while the streetlights
flicker and I can't seem
to remember the last
person that remembered
me the way I wanted to
be remembered.
I tell him I
want to be a
beautiful
poet for him but,
I originally started
this off with
"me, myself,
and him."
and after that
my smile was
big enough for
that to actually
be enough.
