I wanted
to get rid of
you
piece by
piece
by
pieces
like a
footnote
but
i soon
realized that
life is
far
from
being a
footnote
because you don't
fall
for a
footnote
& you can't
unwrite
love, fear,
desire, hatred
passion & lust
rather, life is a
whole bunch
of
tight-wrapped
feelings
left in
the
gutter
for you
so you can
grab onto
it
& pretend
that it's
yours
just
for a
moment
