dear you...
dear you.
it has been
one month.
one month
and sixteen days
and three hours
and seventeen minutes
and some odd amount of seconds
since you left me
you left me
left me alone in a sorry world full of sorry strangers with sorry words they say to me
sorry
isnt it funny
how words lose their meaning when you say them too many times?
sorry
sorry
sorry
it means nothing anymore
just a phrase said too many times
like your name
your name that i've written out so many times
trying to figure out
exactly what i want to-
say to you?
no
tell you?
i can't
say about you?
...maybe that works...
what i want to say about you.
it’s a meaningless word i’ve scribbled out over and over and over
in a black tornado of a page.
sorry
i guess
i tried
i did
its not working
and i miss you
