Unrequited's Such a Shit Thing for Love to Be
Location
love falling from the sky
all around us
you stand there
with a big black umbrella,
avoiding my eyes aggressively
like there will be a prize at the end.
but there’s no big fuzzy teddy bear
this time
we've become very good
at being ghosts
remember that time when we still talked
you stole my notebook and wrote “i love”
on the inside cover?
of course you don’t
i found it today
scribbled in pencil
which is fitting
because a pen would have been
too permanent for you
maybe i’ll wipe it away
but something’s wrong with my hand
the one that won’t ever fit in yours
and every time I find you
on paper or in a song
i remember a name
im trying my best to forget
