this is not where the magic happens

this is where I pour myself some more whiskey

and wait

and wish impossibly

somehow

my words will reach through this gap

filled to the brim with bitterness

grab you by the throat

and drag your flesh to me

the truth is a weight I can’t lift

the voices in my head

say

you don’t care

and this time

I believe them

so I write my nonsense out 

wondering if

the things that are wrong with me

will destroy me

before I ever have the chance

to touch your face again
