Words

I created words

About you

For me they were you

All I had left of what I thought we had

But they were just black markings on a white blank page

On a computer screen

Grown out of a blinking cursor

And a heart in denial

Then I lost them

And it felt like I lost you

Or what was left of you

All over again

Or what I thought was you

We had it

For a second

In my mind

But seconds tick on

And so do you

And as soon as you were here you were gone

Blown about by your own gale

Always ready for something new

I guess just I wasn’t shiny enough

I’m sorry

I so wanted to be

Maybe next time.
