haiku

i asked you to leave,
i meant it once and should have.
still i’d take it back.

/

don’t you remember
the way you’d make things happen
like no one before?

/

isolated post:
this town too small for us both
you’ve still got me, love.

/

here you are again
showing up to my places
black marks on them all.

/

watch the news, i’d say
you’d shrug, trying on a smirk
and then you’d kiss me.

/

well, you never cared
you’d say matter-of-factly.
wrong as wrong, and still.

/

sometimes in the night
you’d press your palm to my mouth
because you had to.
