for her
there was no in between
it was either laughter or tears
happiness or pain
it was all or nothing
she made me feel like nothing
in a matter of days
no hours
no seconds
in a matter of seconds
we went from lovers and friends
to
nothing
thrown away like the first page of a poets thoughts
every idea was leading to a better idea
and she had no idea that i would hurt like this
but for her
there was no in between
it was all or nothing
i
must be
nothing
un-returned phone calls mean nothing
unanswered letters mean nothing
slow songs on radios about love lost mean nothing
it is as if we were nothing
we never existed
i never existed
a face with no name
familiar but only for the sake of familiarity
speeding through love
wanting to get away
hoping not to get stopped by those who need to see my heart
because my soul
has
no ID
