how many broken relationships does it take
it was easy to forget to love you.
so perhaps it’s my fault for our brokenness
for our extinguished spark;
it’s as if i forgot to plug us in or light our candle but how many broken relationships
does it take to screw in a lightbulb? none because there was only screwing up not screwing in
none because you screwed your lightbulb in someone elsei am trying to forget to love you again

I've lost faith in you if you haven't caught on
well you have seen this before,
some page of my poetry laying naked
on your computer or phone screen

it would not make a difference.
These files will still be here,
my thoughts and your thoughts still
clouding the windshield of my head
and we will still never be together.

their fat hearts
drip the hours,
candle wax.
tiny flames light
like city lamps spanning
so far into the distance
that they blur
into the morning's tailspin.when I exhale the flame's
dire ghost,
my eyelids departing their hills
awaken suns opposite the earth.iii.
lipstick on text
is only color engulfing
speech.it's a magic show
and we all go home
disillusioned.iv.
I wonder
if he'll become
swallowed by white noise
while I sle...
the last two lines are a hypnagogic hallucination
(and so is the title)
