You are the type of person who carries his skateboard
everywhere but leaves it in my trunk
You always mean to ride it but the thought of
being with me clouds your thinking
~
Your childlike frustration builds up with each step
as your laces come untied for the tenth time
~
You laugh the cat who rolls on her
tummy “meow” for no reason at all
the dog sitting on her bottom
smiles from ear to ear like a person
~
Love is like velocity we feel the speeding up
and the slowing down
my love I want to go nowhere with you
~
Walking out the door
Forgetting my car keys as if they are useless
~
The store was crowded
I grabbed you a Kit Kat the biggest one I could
I ate half I saved the rest for you here
look in my purse take it taste how sweet
~
I cannot help but sleep in your shirt
you take it off after a long day
I smell like you each night neglecting
that you wore it all day dirty
~
Please hold me the forgotten way I won’t plead
my face and voice happy
my darling I don’t need saving
