Once upon a time
I was
ready to sit next to you in drama class
and love the way our feet danced together
to the music our hearts sang
rub your palm the way reserved for imaginations
hold hands as we walked from first period to third
hug the way that makes you think its not hugging anymore
do things for you
because I wanted you to notice me noticing you noticing me
have those texts that make each other blush but read them again and again
dance with you in the dark gym because I asked you
to be yours and only yours
I am
alone now
no more feeling your hair on my shoulders
no more texting
no more falling into your arms
no more making eye contact from across the room
or watching you while you didn't know I was
feeling special because of you
being yours to hold
to miss
to kiss
but now you've gone and broken
my superglued heart
covered in foundation to hide
the scars from before you
and curtains drawn to hide
the mutilated remains after you
I will be
running from love as long as it's willing to chase me
