My Voice

Too Soon

I raced to own
the familiarity of you,
too soon.

I pinned your words to my chest
enraptured
with the idea of us
I fooled myself, never you,
(perhaps never me, really)

I collected momentos, ticket stubs and misplaced socks
stashes of tangibles
proof of us
then burdened you with disproving
(I'm sorry)




Mary
