one

It’s unapologetic

how the liquid courage

                of last night

                    feels like poison in my bones

this morning

The whirl of hope

and the brokenness of promises

                are unleashed in the daylight

                              and it hurts

any beautiful thoughts of you

are shattered by the realization

                of how damaging they were

                    of how damaging you were

you’re nothing you say you are

and you’re irresponsibly mean

so goodbye then

I’ll see you

when your eyes are dead

                and only the moon shines
