I don’t write poetry anymore
I moved beyond metaphors
When pain pulls the truth
Euphemisms lack relevance
I just wanted to get back to the day
The day before I thought
What we could have been
The day before I saw a spark
The day before we met
If I could just fast forward
Maybe I’d still write
Bad poems
About being in love
And all it entails
But right now
I’m far too literal
To be figurative
About Us verses
You and I
just are
I love you nonetheless
That just is
It
