not wanting to read
by the end of it
it was too late
to rewind time
is not our gift
so i killed it
but in my memory
it refused to die
so i killed myself
in your memory

Crunch

Romance was never really ours.  
Autumn lovers drifted through the park,  
their boots brushing gold from the path.  
I saw a moment, light and harmless,  
a handful of leaves tossed your way,  
a small invitation to play.

You answered with a tackle,  
pressing me into the cold earth,  
grinding leaves into my hair,  
my cheeks, my breath.  
I cried, quietly, hoping you’d stop.  

We walked home without a word,  
the world, suddenly brittle, 
as I picked the crunch from my hair.   
You said sorry, 
I said we had so much to learn.

how old were we
before and after
the green leaves
turned brown and fell
in love with the budding
of our tomorrows

PS my poem has fallen in love with your poem
come on chase me
