ghosting

it's been so long since i've been heart broken
sometimes it's months before i think about you again
your face is always a blurred memory
in the back of my car,
sitting in front of me - laughing and smiling your toothy grins

i read a news article
your favourtie musician 
talking about getting ghosted
the end of the article talked about what ghosting means
but i already knew, thanks to you

so i open the socials and type your name in the search bar
i look at your face
i look at photos of you, taken from different angles
i don't know her, i cannot place her face in my memories


why was i ever so attached to you?

Roosting for you!

I find myself in strange territory- 
A world of chickens,
where the chicklets hatch,
leaving eggshells in their path;
sincerely for me to tread on.

Like a cat, I weave through,
a gentle paw along the earth.
Body contorting to the crowd
"Don't touch me!!" says my spine
"Curious..." say my eyes
my expressions never giving me away.

It should feel familiar,
stepping around everyone's eggshells.
Each step, each turn, each movement
betrayal
Unfaithful
sponsoring war against myself
