don't think
I imagine you can't see
where exactly you're leading me
as I huddle under your covers
- to hold your body
- to show some small sign of strength.
the word 'friend'
tries to settle in my mind.
It rudely shoves out words like
"couple", "girlfriend", and "lover".
your heart pulses against my cheek.
Again and again the electric shock
of sudden loss assaults me.
I swallow a dream, choking hard
as you console me distantly.
I belatedly wonder at the irony,
inescapable karmic forces are laughing.
Again.
it's easiest to pretend
you aren't aware you're
slowly
breaking
away.
