i never share what i write. but i'll take the chance now.

we grew out of each other.
like the tree that is so tortured.
we bend. we fold. we tear apart.
its over.
the cracks in my flesh. the creases
in our fingers.
we're no longer blood.
you no longer linger
in my thoughts. in my dreams.
you're a faded footprint in the sand.
on the shoreline.
a distant memory. a whisper.

we grew out of each other.
