don’t.
not now.
when all crumpled and caved.
don’t come rushing in as though the little thing called us
you’ve saved.
us has gone.
we has died.
don’t
not now
say you can make it work.
you’ve lied.
it didn’t work
because you left, you turned, you walked.
it died because I was standing on the street
fragile, vulnerable
and you let me rot there in my own angry tears.
don’t not now.
don’t say a single word
don’t type one more text message
or I might just leave my body for good.
