Twice removed

i put them on my window ledge
they were for him
they almost lived
they were forget-me-nots
but i forgot

Arizona left behind

those thirty miles were our last
you went too far
never looked back
my shoes were small
my steps were few
i got tired of chasing
the idea
of you
let's just be memories
gray skies and car rides
i'll be your stranger
and you can be mine

distance suits us best.

Dear,_______

These connections are loosening
and there's nothing i can do
maybe we're supposed to separate,
untie these knots before they break

it was always personal.
