Poetry & Art

I Love You.

Those three words cut my soul in half.

You know which three, to the girl that wasn’t me.

The intimacy shared by the light of a screen.

And what did you share with me?

A home. A bed. A family.

Dod she know it was all a ploy?

A void being filled for a broken boy.

Or was she a fool, like me?

The things we will ourselves to believe.

Those three words are etched into me,

What I wish I could unsee.
