Can we talk
about how many times
I almost blocked your
number? Deleted you from
my life completely.
The end. But somehow,
our bond only grows
stronger and tougher and
more gnarled, rooted in thick
soil like suntanned oak trees
with thousands of rings
in manicured suburban
neighborhoods. I couldn’t rip
you out of me,
even if I tried.
