from memory
you were waning
while i was waxing
they were
frustrated by your inability to let go
to be just friends
i was terrified of
becoming you
holding onto my half of
a dead thing
them telling the next person
ugh i wish they would just –
honestly
the whole thing made me feel like I was tripping over my trousers
i guess
when i look at it that way
it’s no wonder i’ve never told anyone
to be clear
this was a while ago
like, okay,
years, now, yeah
but even now when you tell me
oh I was totally in love with them
i don’t understand how it slips out of you
so easily
my emotions are not forthcoming
aside from the fact they are like
acid reflux
in the mouth
Fury
