stray

the movie said
we don't love
we only enjoy
being witnessed
and we just fucking jump
at the opportunity
to feel important enough
to be witnessed

now,
here and there
we are
unwitnessed.

but we always felt
so crowded
so conscious
so restless

and that's how i know it was love

so now we get
a world each
to play in

call me silly,
but i don't really understand
big words anymore
like values
direction
or philosophy

staring life in the face and saying
no
can do that to a girl

so if you ask me
i'd just want to know

if you know i got a new tattoo
when you started wearing glasses
what you ate for lunch today
if you like my new t-shirt

that's all.

everything else you get to keep
there is finally space enough.






in case you couldn't tell,
you're being missed
