Waiting

I promised, I know. but ten years is a long time to wait for “maybe.”

So deeply in love they didn’t even notice the bed bugs and fleas

suddenly you’re gone (were you ever really here?) poof! like bad magic

It was a sloppy slip of tongue; a quick, lewd glance and the whole world knew.

the chip of diamond in my ring, some days feels more like a cement slab.
