never beenA Poem by Kai Bishopfirst times and forget-me-nots
our skin brushes and ive never been this close to someone and it feels like deer caught in headlights like a car crash waiting to happen there's poison in our veins and bodies in the next room that could catch us but we're here and we're doing this aren't we?
my voice is whiny and i know that and i know you don't want it don't want me at least not enough to admit it out loud you started this and you take me anyway why?
beauty in the moonlight lamps reflecting off snow shadows playing its funny the details that remain and the ones that fade the tv glaring through the gloom you and me nothing between us mouths working this is our principal this is how we work
now there's quiet you don't touch me i don't admit how much it hurts i try, you deny a controller hitting the floor a pact shattering in your eyes forcing me to watch the shouting the angry tears the hurt tears the snow darkness
its been years there's a feigned forgetfulness between us the creak of a bus seat the shifting of your weight we both look away our hands don't touch you stand you leave repeat, repeat, repeat and we do a broken record forced to play
this is how we work now and i wonder would you have me if i still wanted you? regret works both ways and so does memory and i still wonder do you remember us? in the shadows in secret i do
but that was then when we touched and this is now when we do not and this is our new pact this is our principal and ive never been so close to someone
