cellphone
You live in my notes app and never make a sound
I’ve seen you crying as I rip my heart out and stuff it with my screens
So many ways to fade away away away
You live in my screen time as it climbs Mount Everest, collapsing due to lack of oxygen
I haven’t been outside today
My friends say that i’m okay and, yea you know that’s normal now
You live in my photos as the landscapes are replaced by screenshots
I think I felt you fall down a rabbit-hole or two
What were you chasing?
Someone who replies to messages not weeks late?
I’m just too terrified to read these and find out that they just say goodbye and good riddance and get out of my life
You live deep down in the space between my toes where the pale skin is peeling and I tried to syringe with air that might purify myself. Ohhh Spring has gone again with no comments or likes. Who have I become?
You used to dance through my imagination and slide down my legs like how I wanted to be a fireman helping people escape their fires until I lit one and burned you away
I think it’s better if I leave you by the road
Maybe you’ll hitchhike your way into someone else's life and stay there comfortably forever
But forever is a long time and if you were to return
You’ll always have a place within my eyes for I’d love to see colours one more time
