Cosmic
Dancing around it
Like children on a carousel
Like crows circling
You won’t say it
Neither will I
Did you love me?
Why leave?
How did you survive?
Loose hugs and tight smiles
A dare between gritted teeth
Was it worth it?
Do you miss me?
Is she good?
You know the truth
And yet here we are
A lover and her history
Staring down the barrel of a loaded gun
I suck my teeth and wonder
If we’ll ever be untethered
