through
the looking glass
I have found you

in my bed
I fall in love
across the phone screen

I met my lover
over a deck of cards
need a partner?

cup of coffee
and a note
it's the little things

across the room
I watch you laugh
warms my heart

she looks back
one last time
his shoes by the door

hollowed out eyes
        —do you still look right
                through me?

tears fall 
when I look at you 
a yawn

BOTTOM half champion

metal bleachers
hip to hip
you keep me warm

first dance
our arms embrace
swaying with the music

a blanket of stars
above her and I
on a blanket

shooting stars
pass by unnoticed.
you’re everything I’ve ever wanted

finding her locket
I open it
a picture of us

staring at the
ridges of the key
unlocking happiness

no such thing
as too young
red lights flash

he pauses and says
you're my best friend
he's in love
