i was just dreaming
i had two guitars
one electric
like the space between our skin
one acoustic
because we're all we'll ever need
i was just thinking
it might be a good idea
to put the coffee maker
next to the bed.
are my scars really this big,
or do i like to be wounded?
i see your face everywhere
in everything
but i think that's because
you live in my eyes too
i will sometimes pick fights with you
just to listen
to the inflections of your voice
santa forgot
to bring you
to me
my blueprints
are your fingerprints
he doesn't say much these days
at least not to me
and there's no future intentions
of slipping me notes in the hall.
he didn't celebrate my birthday.
acknowledged it as it became a new burden
new numbers to remember and forget
someone new to forgive
so unusual and just like me to think
to have cherished him
to bother missing him
when i'm lost.
everyone ends up
exactly
where they want to be
pinky swears
have turned into
children and husbands
i'm taking my comic books
and heading west
