Unhappy Endings
b'
Our conversations are
\\nmonosyllabic now.
\\nI make a revelation,
\\nand instead of widening your eyes
\\nand opening your mouth slightly
\\nto kiss out the knowledge from
\\nunder my tongue,
\\nyou type
\\n"Ahhh",
\\nas though four letters
\\ncould ever convey the multitudes
\\nthat are supposed to be
\\nborn in the space between our words.
\\n
\\nAll the
\\nI love you\'s
\\nyou were supposed to
\\ntap into the curve of my waist
\\nwith your tongue
\\nlie frozen on a phone call,
\\nno semicolons,
\\nonly fullstops,
\\nI see they were right
\\nwhen they said
\\nlove ends
\\nwhen you cannot see it.
\\nYours ended,
\\nmine still hasn\'t.
\\n
\\nI daydream about you
\\nteaching me to dance slowly
\\non Mia and Sebastian\'s theme
\\nunder saxophonic streetlights,
\\neven though I keep repeating
\\nthat I never understood what
\\nthat movie meant,
\\nbecause my heart refuses
\\nthe art of unhappy endings,
\\nbut yours seeks them out
\\nand then so do I;
\\nbecause what belongs to you
\\ncouldn\'t possibly
\\nbe painful,
\\ncould it?
