Literature Text

our laughter falls a note short of sincere these days
as we joke about the end of our world
Jim says "on tuesday, that's when Love leaves",
pause
-as if the knowledge wasn't already known,
"and good riddance too."
there was a false heap of agreements,
spit past clenched teeth.
we had only prepared thus far:
1. take a deep breath,
2. take the blow,
3. and hope for survival
dread chases after all our smiles;
knowing it's place in our hearts
so we cut our losses and fake our farewells
on a perfect day to leave.
You know when the end is coming. You know it in the way; that the kisses don't last so long; that they don't grip on to you so tight; that you feel yourself saying maybe it's for the best.





If you like this, I encorage you to take a look at my other recent works. They're goods too.
