close my eyes
click my heels three times
I know, I know,
I’m the one that left
but you were already gone
you left years ago.
you know.
I tried
holding on.
my hands were
clenched so tightly
I couldn’t see
the empty.
howwasI toknow everytimeI heldyoutherewas
nothing?
you said
it wasn’t me.
no, I’ll never be
that plastic,
perfect
her.
my eyes are closed
I tap my heels
and in that soft darkness
I finally feel
real.
