Wrap it Up

Month one
It’s a rush
A love bomb
Four digit security
to your heart your home your 6ft tall manly hood

Month two
miles away the heart grows fonder
ears ring
brag to friends 
the love grows stronger
Bonnie Raitt and sisterhood

Month three
is this the demise
dinner with friends goes awry
colds and coughs arise
dates cancelled 
no notice
disappointment seeps 

Month four 
creeps in with out notice
holiday season upon us
family disguise
skating glee
the sick old month leaps

Month five
full holiday season
rush rush rush
front the perfect bf
family family family
dinners for two 
morning walks pushed aside

Month six
three Saturdays without
a mom of kids would notice
a miss of a partner
left unheard 
communicate relate recenter
3000 miles away 
heart the escape
I’ll go

Month seven 
what even is that
it is no longer
of needs not met
in time and way how spent
feelings voiced
to rage and gaslit
bait
to end to end to end
a romance that’s fade
