you liked to ask why
i never wrote poems
about you, and
i would say it’s because
i couldn’t put you into words 

a mere mortal
i was incapable of constructing
a proper monument to my miraculous
infinite
unattainable
legendary love
with such small and
imperfect tools 

but truth be told,
i don’t know shit about love
and now i can tell you
it’s because i just
didn’t
want to.
