I am over you
Or, am I tripping?
I am over you
Or is the time just poorer?
I am over you
Or am I being ruthless?
Have I cried all the tears at yoga? Do I have something left for the sidewalk?
I am over you
Or, am I just keeping it cool during the week? Weekends are for eating pizza, rewatching Twin Peaks, and touching the bliss
I am over you
Or have I buried it 6 feet deeper?
Have I ever been honest?
Unlikely — a crybaby with sharper cheekbones
I am over you
early in the morning, when the sun rises
I see rainbows in your hair
Your motionless body is peacefully sleeping
You wake up first, eating your protein bar in the kitchen
I hear the door
you slammed before leaving when rushing to work — I haven’t left that bed yet
maybe tomorrow, or the day after that
compulsively drinking magnesium, iron, and more
Will I ever awaken?
I am over you
Or have I forgotten to look for the only living boy in this city?
Some days are harder than others
Most of them are just days I keep eating my food in my kitchen, in slow motion, looking over my shoulder
Nobody’s coming, I just look over
lovingly
I am over you
Or am I just hiding inside the apartment where all my stuff is? I don’t even think I miss you
It’s just, you haven’t even seen my new place
funny tho, you seem to be everywhere
And I wouldn’t want anyone in my house
except your motionless body sleeping peacefully in my bed
eating protein bars in my kitchen
Taking showers — too long
making my puzzle, completing the circle of desperate lovers
kissing
a crybaby with sharper cheekbones
Am I over you, or simply pretending it’s over?
I keep forgetting leftovers I promised I’d eat
stored deep in your fridge
I am over you
Or has my hair grown longer? How much length does it take to forget
the last three letters of spring?
And what do you say when it’s over anyway? And what do you say when it’s not?
I am over you
It’s too late
I am torn
draining shit
Do you still want it? Let’s fix this — how? idk
It doesn’t move on
It simply is
early in the morning when the sun rises
And your side, still empty, of the bed you never slept in, ‘cause everything’s haunted
I live in my head with the ghosts unwanted
impolite company taking way too much space
