Over

Burning holes into oblivion
I watched her sit down and refuse to look at me
Even with my heart smeared carefully on the chalkboard
She couldn’t do the math

So I climbed out from behind my eyelids
Shook off my tear soaked socks
Dried my feet in her yawns
While looking past her for the first time

The pimples on my back would never sprout wings
But I jumped anyway
Off her nose
Nearly breaking my back on her lower lip

When I peeled my face off the ground
Felt the clear liquid leaking from my popped sores
I stood wrapped in the sun
Having finally let her go
