What It Means When We’re No Longer Lovers

I asked if you made it safely

but I knew you wouldn’t

care if I were drowning

in death’s blue sea

crashing against sharp rock

wave after wave going

down on me like you

used to

making you jealous

though you wouldn’t

ever admit that you

missed me

spring gave way

to summer

and we were held

in the arms of our own

trepidation tight

releasing everything

breath allows
