The month of our beginning
when I snuck on social media
and told you I liked you.
At first
I felt like a rebound
because you had just gotten out of a relationship.
I felt like I was just there
to get you out of love with her
to make sure you was happy without her.
I thought that if I showed
half of my affection for you
you wouldn’t have her in your head.
I felt mistaken
because she pulled you out of my sight
and you showed no effort to not go.
I felt like I had failed
like you wasn’t over her
and I got on my bus before you came back.

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.
