Wrap it Up

Month one
It’s a rush
A love bomb
Four digit security
to your heart your home your Blues baby

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
Halloween
and Rage Against the Machine

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
needs not met
time and how spent,
feelings voiced
and gaslit
to end to end to end
a romance that’s faded away
the end
