love, unlove + secrets

I WAS ONE ONCE

there was and still is
a certain fear and pain
in memory and forgetting

from the day i met him
i knew our days were numbered
he had a plane to catch

there was nothing i could say or do
to make him stay
i could never make you stay

i am trying to influence a life

i hope you will still like me tomorrow

europeans are sexy
but hard to read
and weird to me

WERE WE TOGETHER?

i am a strange animal

with a tendency towards
interior thought and speech
that borders on choking
