it is on nights like these
when I wish I could curl up tight in your embrace
label your vertebrae from A to Z
kiss your warm cheek
and stay with you forever
the “you,” that is, that no longer exists
the “you” i fell in love with
so long ago, so naievely
the “you” that was you
before you knew
you were a monster
before you exploited my easy love
the “you”
that never truly existed
as anything more than an idea
