things fell apart
when you moved
the bed in our room
no more
dusty photos of our moms,
no elevator songs,
no more with you
no more
holding hands,
arms, or elbows
touching knees
in a dark room filled with body heat
i never thought
that eyes so blue could love me too
a dark-haired goon
who guffaws
and not laughs
all double chin,
hard punches, and pants
but there're no lies,
no silence and no science
to what i want
it's only sad
if you believe
your life should have gone
one such way
it only hurts
because you saw
how it could be
and it looked great
i think you wanted
something more
than i could give you
and i hope that's okay baby
